JAGUAR CONSERVATION FUND
Woodland Park Zoo awards $10,000 annually to jaguar conservation projects, thanks to a generous bequest from a friend of the zoo. Projects which clearly deomonstrate that their objectives for the funding year will lead to positive outcomes for long-term jaguar survival have the best chance of receiving support. We especially seek projects that directly address conservation of jaguars through one or more of the following:
- Habitat protection
- Conservation education
- Community involvement
- Includes collaboration with other partners, including other conservation organizations
For grant seekers:
The 2012 Jaguar Conservation Fund small grant application window is now closed. Please watch this page for information on the 2013 funding window opening later this fall. If you have any questions on the process or the grant application window, please contact Bobbi Miller at bobbi.miller@zoo.org
