With Grants of €5,000 and €15,000 : Submit proposals for the Play for Nature Grant Program
Requests for proposals are being made to associations worldwide for biodiversity conservation, with the goal of encouraging action to save endangered species and ecosystems, especially through sports.
Classifications
Submissions of projects must fit into one of two categories:
Biodiv'Monde is a biodiversity conservation project that uses practical measures like scientific monitoring, ecosystem restoration, environmental education, etc. to safeguard an ecosystem or endangered species.
Biodiv'Sport is a biodiversity conservation initiative that uses organised sports, community awareness-building, and the practice of sport to safeguard endangered species or ecosystems.
Projects That Qualify
Two kinds of initiatives are funded by them:
undertakings aimed at conserving biodiversity, including scientific research, monitoring of plants and animals, and the reintroduction of persons who have raised awareness through campaigns, informational seminars, and educational initiatives in schools.
Sport and the staging of athletic events are being used by biodiversity conservation projects as a means of increasing population awareness and disseminating important messages about biodiversity protection.
The suggested projects must always have a distinct focus on biodiversity conservation, with a goal of safeguarding particular ecosystems or threatened species. Additionally, locals must be involved in the project's efforts in some way, whether it be through education initiatives, awareness-raising campaigns, or direct involvement in the association's activities.
Projects falling under the Biodiv'Sport category are required to incorporate sport into a larger project aiming at conserving biodiversity, especially by means of educational and awareness-raising campaigns directed towards the public and local authorities. The following categories could fall under this:
the organisation driving the project's organisation of current or upcoming athletic activities.
collaboration with an already-running athletic event run by a sports group or organisation to further the conservation efforts of the organisation.
Project managers have the option to host yearly or recurring events. When it comes to recurring events, this will be considered one project.
Every initiative must be planned with the goal of educating as many people as possible about the need of preserving ecosystems, endangered species, sustainable resource usage, etc. Therefore, in addition to athletes, schoolchildren, residents, and local government representatives who are indirectly impacted by the project area, raising awareness can also involve participation in tangible initiatives like reforestation.
Additional Information
Biodiv'Sport: two €15,000 awards and fourteen €5,000 grants.
Biodiv'Monde: two €15,000 awards and five €5,000 grants.
Throughout the initiative, sponsors will receive technical support, specifically to assist them in organising a sporting event aimed at promoting awareness.
Whether or not you have applied earlier, you should complete the application form as if you were someone who has never heard of the project before because it will be chosen by an impartial review committee.
