Save Our Seas Foundation Small Grants Program

The Save Our Seas Foundation (SOSF) Small Grants Program supports early-career scientists, conservationists, and educators working on applied research, conservation, and education projects focused on sharks, rays, skates, sawfishes, and chimaeras. The programme funds short-term projects of up to 18 months that contribute to marine conservation outcomes, community engagement, and environmental education. Grants typically average USD 5,000 and may reach up to USD 10,000. The programme particularly encourages locally led initiatives and innovative projects with measurable conservation impact. Applications are submitted through a two-stage online process.
