Keystone Grants

The Save Our Seas Foundation Keystone Grants support research, conservation and education projects worldwide, focusing primarily on threatened marine wildlife and their habitats. Only projects concerned with marine chondrichthyan species (sharks, rays, skates, sawfishes and chimaeras) will be considered. The funding cycle is biennial, with the grant application window opening in even years (2024, 2026, 2028, etc.). Grants average 25,000 USD per annum, with funds allocated on an annual basis and the option to apply for continued funding every year. The usual project duration is limited to three years. The Foundation is committed to providing, where practicable, a degree of continuing support to the projects it is funding.
