Community Grants

Applications are open to small and medium sized, local, regional and national organisations.

 

There will be two stages to the application process, with the first stage being an opportunity for applicants to share the concept and ideas behind their projects. The second stage will go into more depth about how the projects will work, and applicants will be supported through our helpdesk, webinars and workshops to make sure their application accurately demonstrates what the project hopes to achieve.

 

OCEAN supports a wide range of projects that work to protect the marine environment and reduce poverty. Proposals from in-country organisations that work directly with coastal communities are particularly encouraged.

Government agencies and inter-governmental organisations aren’t eligible to receive funding from OCEAN, but are highly encouraged to partner with local non-profit organisations to support their projects.
