Jana Robeyst Trust Fund launches small conservation grants

O Jana Robeyst Trust Fund (JRTF)an organisation dedicated to supporting nature conservation projects, has just announced the opening of applications for its small grants. This initiative aims to fund innovative and impactful projects that promote the preservation of biodiversity in Africa, including Cape Verde. With a special focus on local and community initiatives, the fund offers a unique opportunity for researchers, non-governmental organisations and local groups working towards environmental conservation.

The small subsidies are intended to support projects that address critical issues related to the protection of endangered species, the restoration of natural habitats and the promotion of environmental sustainability. The JRTF values proposals that demonstrate a significant impact, even on a small scale, and that involve the local community in the implementation and management of activities. In addition, projects that incorporate environmental education and the empowerment of young people and women are particularly encouraged.

To apply, interested parties must submit a clear and detailed proposal that includes the project's objectives, the methodology to be used, the estimated budget and the expected impact. The selection process is rigorous, but the JRTF offers support and guidance to applicants throughout the process. The amount of the grant can vary depending on the needs of the project, but is generally between 1,000 and 5,000 euros.

This initiative is an excellent opportunity for organisations and individuals in Cape Verde working in the field of conservation. The archipelago, known for its rich biodiversity and unique ecosystems, faces significant challenges due to climate change, environmental degradation and habitat loss. Projects that aim to protect endemic species, restore degraded areas or promote sustainable practices can benefit directly from this funding.

O deadline for submitting applications is scheduled for 31 August 2025. For more information and to access the application form, visit the official website of the Jana Robeyst Trust Fund: www.janarobeysttrustfund.org.
