In 2006, we granted $935,000 to the Whitley Fund for Nature (WFN) to help its global support of outstanding conservationists. The fund identifies leaders who create long-term conservation benefits on the ground and celebrates them by providing awards through the Whitley Fund for Nature. It also offers smaller grants to promising conservation leaders. In addition to providing financial support, WFN accelerates recipients’ careers by helping them raise their profiles, increase their networks and inspire others.

PROJECT UPDATE:

In 2011, we awarded the Whitley Fund for Nature a repeat grant of $150,000 to help cover the core costs of running the annual Whitley Awards.
