About the Organization

(Call for Application for Van Tienhoven Foundation Grants January 2025)

The Van Tienhoven Foundation is committed to supporting global efforts to protect threatened species and vital ecosystems by providing small grants to fund impactful conservation projects.

Our Mission & Vision:

We are dedicated to the preservation of life on Earth, recognizing the essential role that biodiversity and healthy ecosystems play in sustaining the planet. Human activity is both a key driver of environmental change and an important force for positive action. We believe people are central to reversing the pressures on nature, and that collective efforts can lead to meaningful improvements in biodiversity conservation.

Through our small grants, we support direct action aimed at the protection of species, ecosystems, and community-managed conservation areas. Our focus is on initiatives that lead to tangible changes in policy and practice, driving forward the conservation agenda.

We are committed to fostering a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of environmental threats and pressures, with the goal of catalyzing concrete actions to prevent, reduce, or mitigate these impacts. By sharing knowledge and empowering stakeholders, we strive to create a broad coalition for nature conservation, working alongside governments, NGOs, communities, and individuals to protect the planet’s most vulnerable species and ecosystems.
