Project Funding for Nature and Species Conservation

The Heinz Sielmann Foundation supports projects that preserve biodiversity and habitats worthy of protection or raise awareness of nature conservation and species protection. These include the development and maintenance of ecologically valuable habitats, the creation of biotope networks, species conservation measures, and nature conservation research. Eligible expenses include material and personnel costs. Applications may be submitted by nonprofit and public-law entities based in Germany, such as associations, universities, municipalities, and NGOs. For-profit organizations and projects that have already begun are ineligible. Self-funding is not required. There is no fixed minimum or maximum limit on the grant amount. Organizations based in Berlin are eligible to apply for this funding, as it is awarded nationwide.
