What are the priority considerations for the Disney Conservation Fund? The Disney Conservation Fund gives priority consideration to holistic programs addressing a significant conservation need (or projects that are part of a program) which reflect: • Education and community engagement, including measuring results (see below for additional information on expectations for education components) • Sustainable development programs directly connected to protecting species and habitat • Scientific field studies on species and habitats (the Disney Conservation Fund does not fund ex-situ projects/project components) • Although the fund recognizes that basic science is a critical first step in conservation initiatives, preference is given to projects where there is a significant conservation action component The Disney Conservation Fund supports programs and projects around the world, with programs in 115 different countries receiving support thus far. The fund also seeks to support projects taking place in areas where Disney has a significant business focus, including the regions below: *Note this list is subject to change We will also consider support for projects focused on species/habitats featured at Disney’s Animal Kingdom or The Seas with Nemo and Friends at Epcot.
