About the ICRI Grants Program
The ICRI Grants Program is one of the objectives of the ICRI Secretariat under the Australia-Belize hosting (2012-2013).
The ICRI Grant funding provides small grants of up to AU$10,000 to fund projects in developing countries that result in better protection and management of coral reefs and related ecosystems.
ICRI Grants are targeted towards governments, non-government organisations (NGOs) and community groups running projects based in ODA-eligible countries.
Successful applicants are required to enter into a funding deed with the ICRI Secretariat (via the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority), with specified terms and conditions. Projects must be completed by the 30 June 2013.
