Please note effective January 2009, changes
have been made to the Conserving Canada's Forests Program Guidelines
to reflect the outcomes of our recent five year review of the program.
These include:
1. Our growing preference for supporting multi-organizational collaborations
as a key method of securing our conservation goals
2. A focus on investing in geographic areas and methods of change
that will achieve the greatest outcomes in the balance of our CF
Program term
3. A commitment to share with potential grantees the areas of priority
to which we expect to provide grants in the coming year
4. A desire to ensure that potential grantees work with Foundation
staff in advance of our Letter of Inquiry deadline to ensure that
their project fits with Foundation priorities for the coming year.
The Foundation's Conserving Canada's Forest Program will focus its grantmaking support in the two following areas in 2012:
• Implementation of the Canadian Boreal Forest Agreement
• Land-use planning in the northern boreal forests of Ontario
Due to the general decline in our granting budget, it is unlikely we will be able to consider projects that do not fit within the two priorities we have identified.
Please contact Lara Ellis at the Foundation, if you are considering an application and we and help you to determine if your project fits these areas of focus.
