Applicant Inquiry for Funding Consideration

Organization Information:

Contact Name:(Required)

Eligibility:

For organizations looking for funding only:
 

Organization/group and project must be located in North America.

Project Information:

Projects must seek to achieve one of the following goals:

  • Establish long-term protection for land and/or water in their efforts to foster a planet where natural places, wildlife, and people thrive together. Long-term protection may include private land acquisitions and easements, federal public land protection, and landscape scale restoration.
  • Support management processes and planning that promote the climate resiliency and biodiversity of protected areas.
 

Types of projects that are less likely to receive TCA funding are those with a primary focus on:

  • State and local level legislative or administrative campaigns
  • General stewardship (e.g., trail maintenance, trash cleanup, conservation corps projects)
  • Stopping a mine or other threat without a parallel process for securing durable protection
  • Multiple projects in one proposal, unless applicant has received prior approval from TCA
  • Applications to fund the same group for a second project
  • Outdoor or environmental education
  • Research
  • Conferences, event sponsorships, or film festivals
  • Production of a film, podcast, or other media product
  • Participation grants to get people outside
  • Only in special cases do we fund more than one group working on a campaign – this is typically reserved for TCA Priority Campaigns
(e.g., acquisition and protection of 1,000 acres of forest land that will expand public access to hiking and biking trails, and preserve wildlife habitat)
Please indicate which priority areas the project will have an impact on:
May select more than one.
