FAQs
Do you do multi-year funding?
Please note that we generally do not commit to multi-year funding. If approved, the maximum funding period will be up to 12 months (some exceptions may apply). If the project duration extends over multiple year, you may wish to apply for 12 months first, then reapply at or near the end of the funding period. The newly submitted application will be assessed based on the review of the previous funding performance and the merits of the new application.
Can I request a pre-application meeting?
We do not hold introductory meetings with interested applicants. All interested organisations and individuals are asked to send through an EOI using the form below for initial assessment.
Do you have closing dates and rounds?
We are open to receive application all throughout the year. However, please note that decisions on formally submitted application will be decided by the Fund's board, which meets four times a year. If your EOI advances to fomal application, you will be notified of the deadline so your application can be tabled at a timely manner for consideration at the next upcoming board meeting.
Can I make changes to my application?
Please contact the Environmental Officer using the Contact Us page.
How much can I apply for?
Please note that there is no minimal or maximum limitation and funding is guided by the application.
