The GCBC Small Grants Fund is a joint partnership between C.A.P.E. (Cape Action for People and the Environment), SKEP (Succulent Karoo Ecosystem Programme), CEPF (Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund), CapeNature (the provincial conservation authority), and the GCBC Management Unit. The ultimate aim of this fund is to ensure civil society’s engagement in biodiversity conservation.

Preference is given to organisations, but associations or community groupings will be considered.
What types of applications can be considered for funding?
Projects that help to implement the GCBC’s objective of promoting innovative private sector and community involvement in biodiversity conservation, whilst ensuring action towards a common vision will be considered. Projects should promote the well being of people and nature in the GCBC on a sustainable basis.
To be considered for funding, activities must be within the domain of the GCBC (see website) and must assist with the vision of establishing a lived-in, work-in biodiversity corridor. Please visit the website for some of the projects that have been approved (go to GCBC Strategies).
What is the size of the grants?
