Marine Conservation Action Fund | New England Aquarium
The Marine Conservation Action Fund (MCAF) is a small grants and fellowship program that addresses critical needs in the marine conservation field, including rapid turnaround funding for urgent, time-sensitive projects and support for early-stage, entrepreneurial projects led by local conservation leaders in low and middle-income countries.
Since it was founded in 1999, MCAF has supported more than 190 projects in more than 60 countries and across six continents. Through these efforts, conservation leaders are creating solutions that benefit ocean health and support food security and livelihoods for local communities.
MCAF awards are up to $12,000.
Eligibility: Project leaders must be a national of the low or middle-income country or the broader region where the work is taking place.
