INV Grant Fund

Helping nature projects beyond volunteering

What is the INV Grant Fund?

The INV Grant Fund is an initiative to assist local nature projects beyond volunteering. The aim of the fund is to support projects financially for such things as new equipment, or a new project initiative. The INV Grant Fund is there for the project to help them achieve their goals and vision.

How is the INV Grant Fund Financed?

The INV Grant Fund is financed by several means:

  • A small portion of a volunteer’s program fee usually goes to the fund;
  • Contributions from INV Nature Supporters; and
  • One-off contributions from INV Volunteer Alumni, individuals, and organisations.
Who can apply to the fund?

Volunteers who are currently volunteering with a project can apply for funding for an initiative in consultation with the local project leaders. Project partners can also apply directly for grant funding. To make an application, please contact us via the contact us page for further information on the process and information required.
