3RD CALL FOR PROPOSALS
(August 5, 2024 – October 24, 2024)
In our 3rd Call for Proposals, concept papers were accepted on 25th August 2024, through our Grants Application Platform.
In the first step of our 3rd Call for Proposals, we received 37 Concept Papers and after review, 23 met the eligibility criteria. Of these, 17 were invited to submit full proposals by October 24th, 2024.
These include 1 Small Grant, 2 Medium Grants, 6 Large Grants, and 8 Community Grants!
15 proposals were submitted for screening and review by our Blue Bonds Committee and approval by the Board of Directors.
We take this opportunity to note that not all accepted concept papers are guaranteed funding, as the process is competitive, and we’ll fund projects that can make the biggest impact on Belize’s marine resources.
Stay tuned as we announce the approved projects by January 31st, 2025!
