OPCF Conservation Funding 2016-17Funds for NGOs Activities:
Others 2016 TO 2017 CONSERVATION FUNDING GUIDELINES Background:OPCFHK envisions a world where Asian wildlife remains biologically diverse under the stewardship of humans, corporations and governments. We are committed to advocating, facilitating and participating in effective conservation efforts of Asian wildlife, with an emphasis on Chinese white dolphins and giant pandas, as well as their habitats. This will be achieved through partnerships, fundraising, research and education. With limited available funds and given the urgency of conservation efforts, it is important that research studies are designed to be effective for conservation. Therefore, we seek proposals with measurable conservation outcomes. Countries Eligible for Support:The Foundation solicits proposals from countries or regions in Asia according to United Nations Statistical Division plus Papua New Guinea, with higher priority will be given to projects from Eastern, Southern and South-Eastern Asia. Coastal countries connected to Asia where funding is limited and with threatened wide-ranging Asian species inhabited, such as the Far East Russian western gray whales, are included. Funding Strategy for 2016/17:In order to diversify limited resources among various fauna taxa, about 50% of the total funding for 2016/17 will be allocated to aquatic and terrestrial mammals (include Chinese white dolphin and giant panda) while the rest will be allocated to birds, fishes, amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates. To encourage local researchers to take the lead in conserving the threatened species in their countries and to build local capacity, the Foundation allocates about 75% of total funding to support projects with local researchers as Principal Investigators, whilst the remaining portion will support projects led by international institutes and research teams with the participation of local people. Amount and Terms of Funding:Total Funding: Majority of successful applications in 2015/16 were one-year projects averaged HK$ 184,000/year (US$23,000). The funding provided is to cover the relevant project expenses during the approved project period, as stated in the application. Multiple-year proposals last from 3 to a maximum of 5 years and limited to HK$ 1 million per year will be considered separately based on project conservation impact. Project duration: Proposals can be one or two years as regular projects, or 3 to a maximum of 5 years as multiple-year projects. Please use the financial year of the Foundation, which is from July to June, when filling in the budget for the different financial years in the application form. Failure to do so may affect the funding application.
