We’re currently accepting proposals for our 2015 Conservation Catalyst Fund loan program.
With local conservation organizations and Our Greater San Diego Vision in mind, the Conservation Catalyst Fund takes a big picture approach to conserve, connect and maintain open spaces and parklands. The fund supports land acquisition and habitat management for jointly determined priority projects that leverage additional public funding, support science-driven adaptive restoration and management activities, and encourage policy initiatives that benefit the preservation of wild lands.
The fund is collaborative, strategic and pivotal, and provides zero-interest loans to achieve conservation goals. Current collaborators include Conservation Biology Institute, The Conservation Fund, Endangered Habitats League, The San Diego Zoological Society, and The Trust for Public Land.
There is approximately $70,000 in available loan funding to award. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and will be reviewed approximately quarterly. This application has two components:

This year’s grantees will help address these inequities and enhance access to the outdoors throughout San Diego County.
