If you have any questions that are not covered here, please email us on clp@birdlife.org<\/a>. Unfortunately we are not able to respond to queries by phone. We have grouped the FAQs into General FAQs, FAQs relating to eligibility, and FAQs relating to the application process. Applicants should read this in conjunction with the application guidelines.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have not received a CLP grant before, you can only apply for a Future Conservationist Award. If you previously received a CLP Future Conservationists Award, you can apply for a Follow-up Award. If you area previous winner of a Follow-up Award, you can apply for a Conservation Leadership Award. Please note: we are not offering Follow-Up or Leadership Awards in 2025. We will be accepting applications for 2025 Future Conservationist Awards only<\/span> until 18 October, 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n CLP can offer support up to the value of $15,000 for Future Conservationist awards, $25,000 for Follow-up awards and $50,000 for Leadership awards. Funds from other donors can be included in the project budget; however, the total amount of funds requested from CLP must cover at least 50% of the project budget. For example: a Future Conservationist award budget can include $15,000 requested from CLP and up to $15,000 maximum from other donors. In another scenario, a Future Conservationist budget could consist of $15,000 requested from CLP with no other donors. Please note: we are not offering Follow-Up or Leadership Awards in 2025. We will be accepting applications for 2025 Future Conservationist Awards only<\/span> until 18 October, 2024. Grants are dispersed in two installments with the Future Conservationist Award providing 85% of the grant at the start and the remaining 15% once reporting requirements are met.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Where possible, plan for a project start date after the Conservation Management and Leadership training. Most project teams refine their project plan after the CLP training to improve project delivery. An earlier start date is acceptable when other circumstances, such as seasonal sampling period, require this. Also, note CLP cannot send funds to successful projects until certain documents are received from the project teams once the award is confirmed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\nGeneral FAQs<\/h2>\n
