Cheetah Conservation Fund UK
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. Don't spend time on an approach; the similar funders below support the same kind of work.
Key takeaways
- Only affiliated Cheetah Conservation Fund organisations in Africa can apply, and the funder does not accept unsolicited requests, so any organisation without that affiliation should not apply.
- Because the funder works by invitation only, the best route is an existing connection with the Cheetah Conservation Fund rather than a cold approach.
- The annual report does not state a grant range, so there is no basis here for choosing a request size, and a grant writer should ask the funder directly.
- Requests are reviewed and approved by the Chair and Board of Trustees, but nothing published says anything about timing or how competitive the process is.
