DARWIN INITIATIVE
The Darwin Initiative is a UK Government grants scheme that supports communities to find just, scalable, and sustainable ways to conserve and restore nature while growing their economies and reducing poverty.
Darwin Initiative Main grants, ranging from £200,000 to £1,000,000, are expected to deliver strong results for biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction based on good evidence, and strongly demonstrate the potential to scale further. Projects should last between 2 to 5 years maximum.
Darwin Initiative Extra grants, ranging from £1 million to £5 million, for projects that are on a clear scaling pathway: building on good evidence from previous Biodiversity Challenge Funds projects demonstrating the potential to scale further by completion and facilitating better biodiversity conservation and poverty outcomes within its lifetime. Projects should last between 2 to 5 years maximum.
Darwin Initiative Capability & Capacity grants, ranging from £75,000 to £250,000, are for projects that focus on developing the capability and capacity of identified local and national organisations (civil society, research institutes, and public bodies) to efficiently deliver effective and successful biodiversity conservation - poverty reduction projects. Projects should last between 1 to 3 years maximum.
