Friends of Grasslands: Small project grants 2017

Starting in 2017, FOG is offering a small number of grants of $500–$1500 each to promote investment in our understanding and management of grassy ecosystems. 
 
A grant might enable the recipient to undertake a small project or add to a bigger project. Projects might include publications, research, education, on-ground work, advocacy, publicity and training. Projects which leverage additional resources will also be favoured.
 
FOG will publicise the projects it funds, and may offer practical in-kind support.
 
The recipient will need to keep FOG informed of progress, such as by writing about it for the FOG newsletter, giving talks to FOG, leading FOG visits to your sites, etc.
 
To apply for a grant, and keep paperwork to a minimum, please send FOG a short written application explaining the nature of your proposed project. We recommend that you contact the sub-committee (via email to grants@fog.org.au) to ensure your idea fits with FOG’s objectives before you start your application. You don’t have to be a FOG member to apply. 
 
Closing date for the initial round of grants is 30 April 2017.
