Conservation, Food and Health Foundation Grants 2026–2027: Funding Opportunities for NGOs and Nonprofit Organisations in Africa, Asia and Latin America

Overview

The Conservation, Food and Health Foundation provides grant funding to support nonprofit organisations, civil society groups, community-based organisations, and academic institutions. The programme focuses on developing regions including Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East, with an emphasis on underserved communities and underfunded priorities. The funding serves as seed capital for pilot projects, new initiatives, applied research, training, and technical assistance, helping organizations establish project models and build track records to attract larger funding.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants include nonprofit, nongovernmental, or charitable organizations that implement projects in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, and the Middle East. The Foundation prioritizes locally driven solutions, capacity development, and projects that involve direct work with communities.

What you get

Grants are awarded to support initiatives across three main areas. Conservation grants support environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, natural resource management, climate change mitigation, and scientific capacity building. Food and agriculture grants fund agricultural research and demonstration projects that improve food production, food security, sustainable agricultural practices, and support smallholder farmers. Health grants focus on public health and community health promotion, including reproductive health, mental health, pollution risks, zoonotic and neglected tropical diseases, nutrition, and disease prevention, while generally favoring preventive interventions over clinical treatment.
