Grantmaking Guidelines

Overview

For more information

Further questions can be addressed to Program Officer Elizabeth Chadri (Africa), Program Officer Christopher Holtz (Asia), Program Officer Stephen Cornelius (Latin America), and Program Associate Kate Barnes (Coastal Marine).

Grantmaking focuses on support for biodiversity conservation activities in The Great Lakes of East and Central Africa, Watersheds of the Andes, The Greater Mekong and its Headwaters, and Coastal-Marine systems (cross-regional). MacArthur also will provide support to address a select set of global challenges to biodiversity conservation, including:

    • climate change mitigation and adaption
    • the role of China in global conservation
    • reducing the impact of commodity production
    • responding to marine overfishing
