scaling up success
Follow-on grants help Whitley Award alumni bring effective conservation solutions to scale.
As part of our Continuation Funding programme we support nature-based solutions to climate change. These locally-led projects jointly address biodiversity loss, landscape degradation and global warming, recognising the need for holistic action.

LADDERED SUPPORT
Following the submission of concept notes, grants are applied for on a competitive basis each year. Over half of all previous Whitley Award winners have gone on to win Continuation Funding: our commitment to the most effective conservation leaders is long-term.
Scientific rigour remains a mainstay of selection, but winners are also encouraged to aim high and take calculated risks. Proposals are assessed by a panel of experts who generously donate their time to identify the most compelling projects.

Long term relationships
Continuation Funding – which is greater in value and over a longer time period than the Whitley Award – is given to some of the most influential conservationists in their field, contributing measurable impact at both the grassroots and global level.
However, demand for follow-on funding far outstrips resource – we want to change this! We welcome further donations to our Continuation Funding programme: if you would like to find out more, please contact WFN’s Head of Partnerships, Georgie White: [email protected]
