The Rufford Foundation
Apply on their own site: https://apply.ruffordsmallgrants.org/
This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/rufford-small-grant-1st-conservation
Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] The project must be in an eligible country; South Sudan and Sudan cannot be considered at present
[ ] Early career: an MSc or PhD student, or graduated from one in the past 3 years; BSc students are not funded
[ ] A nature conservation project on species not listed as Least Concern, or threatened habitats or issues; fieldwork costs only

2. WHAT TO GET READY
The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start.

3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
