Conservation Workshop Grants fund organizations to train communities,
stakeholders, park guards, and others on local and regional
conservation issues. These grants support training workshops with a
strong hands-on learning component that will build capacity for people
living in WWF priority places in select countries in Africa, Asia, and
Latin America. Local organizations from select WWF-US priority countries
must meet all of the eligibility criteria to be considered for a grant.
Organizations may request up to $7,500 for the proposed training.
