Throughout July 2005, WWF-Hong Kong created the AWCF to give financial assistance for projects at critical sites for migratory waterbirds (including seabirds) in Asia along the East Asian – Australasian Flyway (EAAF). The AWCF was reorganized in late 2019, and two new awards, the WWF Dr. Lew Young Grant and the Asian Flyways Initiative Grant (AFI Grant), were established to continue the EAAF's assistance for the Central Asian Flyway (CAF). The two new Grants are intended to assist projects on the ground in Asia that will contribute to the protection of migrating waterbirds and their habitats in the EAAF and CAF, notably via collaboration with the local population.

Global EbA Fund
The Global EbA (Ecosystem-based Adaptation) Fund was established to provide rapid and targeted support through seed capital for innovative approaches to Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA). The Global EbA Fund grants should be complementary to and add value to existing work, by filing a gap in an existing project, enhancing the impact of an investment in EbA, contributing to policy upscaling of EbA, and/or serving to develop a larger proposal to another funding mechanism. The Global EbA will make contribution from USD50,000 to USD250,000 to selected projects that target one or more countries which are eligible for official development assistance (ODA) or global or thematic projects.
