Follow-up support

TBA Small grant scheme for alumni groups

The TBA Small Grant Scheme provides ground-breaking support to TBA alumni groups to assist them with their conservation projects and to strengthen their proficiency in natural resource management and research. Every year, we will give grants of up to UK£1,500 for projects that show clear and measurable impacts.

 

2010 Grants applications are currently running

We hope that this scheme will help build capacity of our African alumni by stimulating them to network more and to engage in collaborative Biological or Conservation projects.

The closing date is 30th April each year. See instructions for applicants. Please contact TBA's Project Officer in the Nairobi office for inquiries, comments and information on how to apply.
