little longer. <strong>The nominations period for the Winter 2024 cycle will be open from October 2 – November 15, 2023.</strong> Organizations will still receive the same amount of time to complete their applications once the Request for Proposals are released on November 16th.</p> <p>Nominating a conservation group to apply for funding is a simple process that involves filling out a short form with the contact information of an organization you think is doing impactful conservation work. Member companies do not need to nominate a specific project, only the organization. This process helps highlight important conservation efforts, helps us find new groups, and is a great way for grassroots organizations and our members to form relationships that can amplify each other鈥檚 work.</p> <p>For our member directed grant cycles, we ask each member company to nominate up to two organizations to apply for funding. Only those organizations that receive a nomination are invited to apply for funding. Nominations kick off an application process that could lead to a $50,000 grant for a grassroots group working to protect a wild place or outdoor space in North America.</p> <p>Once you have identified an organization whose work may meet our <a href="https://conservationalliance.com/member-directed-grants/">funding criteria</a>, please submit your nomination. The deadline to submit your nominations is November 15, 2023. <a href="https://conservationalliance.com/grants/?yearly=2022">Click here</a> for examples of the types of projects we fund. If you are a current member company and have not received the nomination form or if you have questions about our process, please contact <a href="mailto:kim@conservationalliance.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Paymaster</a>.</p> <p><strong>GRANT CYCLE TIMELINE</strong><br /> We will formally invite each nominated organization to submit a grant request for The Conservation Alliance funding. Here’s the complete list of important dates in this grant cycle:</p> <p style="text-align: center;">Nomination deadline: November 15, 2023<br /> Proposal deadline: December 13, 2023<br /> Board and staff grant review period: Dec 2023-Jan 2024<br /> Member company voting period: February 2024<br /> Grant announcement: March 2024<br /> Grant Term: April 1, 2024 – March 31, 2025</p> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="article-nav bg-sage-100"> <div class="container"> <div class="flex flex-col md:flex-row gap-4 lg:gap-6 justify-center"> <div class="md:w-1/2"> <div class="prev-link article-link"> <a href="https://conservationalliance.com/2023/09/convening-for-conservation-a-recap-of-our-2023-d-c-fly-in-event/" rel="prev"><div class="link-content relative"><div class="link-image"><img width="900" height="586" src="https://conservationalliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/DC-around-fire-900x586.jpg" class="attachment-crop-900x600 size-crop-900x600 wp-post-image" alt="DC Fly-in" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /></div><div class="link-block"><div class="link-title grid content-center"><div class="s2 mb-2">Older</div><h3>Convening for Conservation: A Recap of Our 2023 D.C.
