Grant Information

Naturewatch Foundation is making £10,000GBP available to fund the World Animal Day Grant. The trustees are open to support more than one project with the funding. Comparative information on costs between different countries will be taken into consideration.

The Grant is restricted to applications by World Animal Day Ambassadors for projects being undertaken in their own country by the organisation they work for which must be a registered, not for profit, non-governmental animal welfare organisation.

The trustees and advisors of Naturewatch Foundation will select projects they believe have the best potential to make a significant and lasting, positive impact upon the welfare of animals. All applications will be carefully and sympathetically considered and the winner(s) will be announced in September 2024.

There is no minimum size of grant. The World Animal Day grant you are applying for must cover the full cost of the project you are proposing.
