Amphibian Ark calls for proposals for different types of the conservation projects.


  • Start-up grants 

– Initial funding to help newly-launched projects get started at the very beginning of their life, to help them attract larger and/or long-term funding for the duration of the program 

- One-time grants of up to US$5,000 are available. Recipients are able to apply for second and third year extension grants. 

  • Start-up grant extensions 

– Additional funds are available to provide continued support for AArk seed or start-up grant projects that a) have met their stated objectives for year one, and b) can demonstrate that additional supplemental funds have been secured for years two and three. Recipients of funding from the AArk in 2016 and 2017 are eligible to apply for these extensions. 

- Grants of up to US$4,000 for year 2 and US$3,000 for year 3 are available. 

  • Workshop attendance

- Grants of up to US$750 are available. 

  • Mentorship grants 

–  support for organizations which have previously received an AArk seed or start-up grant, to bring in a designated outside expert to assist with an aspect of their amphibian conservation efforts (e.g. veterinary training, environmental control etc.).  

- Grants up to US$1,500 are available. 

  • Emergency grants 

– limited funding is available for past recipients of AArk grants throughout the year for emergency situations such as unanticipated major equipment failure in existing ex situ programs.

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.
