How to apply
Wild Asia believes that a wealth of knowledge could lead to many awe-inspiring research and projects. Sometimes, one harbours a great idea or a plan in their minds, but then meets a financial roadblock. Enter Seed Grants, a programme established by Wild Asia as a way to lift this block, and support those that need a kick start to get an idea off the ground.

Our grants are small, usually up to USD 1,000. Projects can be anywhere in Asia, and can be multi-media based or a field project. What you will have to demonstrate is how you will have an impact on the sustainability of natural resources.
