- Each of the winners gets the distinguished FFN Award in addition to 50,000 euros. Since they are the ones who know where the money is most needed, the winners are free to use it anyway they see fit in the name of nature protection. Furthermore, Future For Nature provides far more than just one-time cash assistance.

-Gaining international recognition for their work and opening doors that were previously closed, the FFN Award winners do both.
By providing the winners with a platform and showcasing their tales to a broad audience and conservationists, FFN enables them to have a bigger impact and boost their access to funding.
Through the Future For Nature Academy, they also grant the previous winners an additional platform. This autonomously operating committee works for and with students in a number of Dutch towns, providing them with resources like seminars, networking opportunities, and lectures in an effort to encourage them to get involved in environmental protection.

- FFN is creating a network of like-minded individuals by uniting a growing Family of (past) winners, committed individuals. To continue their battle for nature as effectively and efficiently as possible, FFN provides them with the chance to interact and share knowledge with one another.
