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.
WWF Dr. Lew Young Grant Maximum Amount: US$10,000/ project
Asian Flyways Initiative Grant (AFI Grant) Maximum Amount: US$5,000/ one year project, US$5,000/ year for multiple-years projects
