Applications open for The Conservation, Food & Health Foundation Grants. Submit straight away.
In Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East, the Conservation, Food, and Health Foundation works to save natural resources, enhance food production and distribution, and advance public health. With grants that promote research or enhance learning and the creation of local solutions to complicated challenges, the foundation assists in increasing the capacity of organizations and coalitions.
The foundation provides funding for initiatives that exhibit regional leadership, advance professional advancement in the fields of agriculture, conservation, and health sciences, strengthen the ability of regional organizations, and tackle a specific issue or query in the area. It prefers to sponsor initiatives that focus on underserved topics and geographical regions.
The organization aids developing nations in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East that have a low or lower middle income. It favors supporting organizations in low- and middle-income nations or those in higher-income nations whose initiatives directly help low- and middle-income nations. The former Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc governments are not supported by the foundation.
