Organizations should align proposals tightly with the foundation's conservation priorities, develop relationships with staff or existing grantees, and seek introductions rather than relying on an open application. Use the public website and listed program staff emails to request conversations or informational calls, and highlight project scale and capacity since the foundation both makes small grants and occasionally very large, strategic awards.
