Three new Small Grant Fund Projects need support

November 11, 2026

Within our Small Grant Fund, we need to raise 30,000 euros to support three new projects in 2027. We can help launch a common bird monitoring scheme in Ukraine, improve monitoring coverage in northern Cyprus to provide better data for this politically divided island, and support a long-running scheme in Latvia by adding a new, easy data-submission module for its volunteers. Read more about the projects and help us support them in 2027!
