Panthera makes grants for research and conservation of the world’s populations of wild cats. The Small Cat Action Fund (up to US$15 thousand) supports in situ conservation and research on many of the world’s 31 small cat species. The Winston Cobb Memorial Fellowship (US$10 thousand) is made to an exceptional early-career conservationist to undertake a field-based internship for training and experience on a wild cat conservation project selected by Panthera. Letters of Interest for all programs have to be submitted by 15 March 2025. Learn More
Panthera is committed to fostering the next generation of wild cat conservationists through our grant and fellowship programs. Grant and fellowship recipients have helped make major advancements in our understanding of wild cats, as well as in our research and conservation methods.
Panthera’s grants and fellowships support conservation research initiatives on small cat species to help fill in the gaps where we lack a permanent presence. In our selection process, we prioritize projects led by in-country nationals to help build the scientific base of the countries that wild cats call home.
How to Apply
All of Panthera’s grant programs are facilitated through the online grant management system Foundant, through which all Letters of Interest (LOIs) and new and renewal grant applications must be submitted. Please check individual grants for submission dates.
