Summary
This grant opportunity supports two broad and deeply interlinked program areas: advancing social justice for marginalized populations, and protecting vulnerable wildlife—especially great apes and gibbons. The funding level generally ranges from 25,000 to 1.5 million dollars per multi-year grant, with many awards falling in the 100,000–150,000-dollar bracket. Support is available on a global scale, covering regions in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and certain U.S. states or territories.
Eligible organizations are nonprofits and civil society entities; this grant is not designed for for-profit businesses or individual applicants. The funder’s goal is to strengthen both grassroots activism and institutional infrastructure across communities, with an emphasis on movement building, policy advocacy, and long-term capacity development. On the social justice side, eligible projects include work that promotes the rights, inclusion, safety, and dignity of historically marginalized communities, particularly with regard to gender, sexual orientation, and identity. Proposals that integrate legal or policy reform, community organizing, and civic engagement are especially encouraged.
On the conservation front, funding is directed toward safeguarding great apes and gibbons through sanctuary support, habitat protection, community partnerships, and sustainable development efforts that balance human well-being and ecological integrity. Grantees might use the grant to improve living conditions for animals in care, enhance conservation infrastructure, or launch integrated programs that support both wildlife and local communities.
The grant funds may be used flexibly: to pay for program operations, staffing, research, public engagement, advocacy, or education efforts. They also support coalition building and long-term strategic planning, helping to strengthen movement ecosystems and sustainable networks for impact.
This opportunity is well suited to nonprofit organizations working at the intersection of environmental protection and social change. Ideal applicants are those committed to systems-level transformation, community-led advocacy, and long-term conservation. The global reach of the funding means that organizations in various geographies may apply, with particular attention paid to regions facing acute social or environmental challenges.
Eligible applicants in Indiana with a demonstrated commitment to Pets/Animals/Wildlife are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
