Community Support Fund
The Community Support Fund is a dedicated small grant fund operated by Fauna & Flora International to support member groups of the Coastal Communities Network. The grant fund has been established to enable groups to meet specific locally-determined goals and outcomes, with the overall aim of progressing local biodiversity conservation or group development.
Grants can be sought by Network members for discrete projects, to build the capacity or governance of a group, or to support learning and development. To find out more, or to make an application, access the criteria document and application form below.
Please note that the fund is only open to current community group members of the Coastal Communities Network.
