Asian Elephant Conservation Fund
The purpose of this competitive grants program is to assist in the conservation of Asian elephants by enhancing:
protection of at-risk elephant populations; transfrontier elephant conservation; habitat/ecosystem conservation and management; applied research on elephant populations and their habitat including surveys and monitoring; conservation education; protected area/reserve management in important elephant range; development and execution of elephant conservation management plans; strengthening of local capacity to implement conservation programs; wildlife inspection, law enforcement and forensics skills; and efforts to decrease human-elephant conflict.
Due to the limited funding available and the desire to support diverse projects, preference will be given to proposals requesting $50,000 or less.
Higher amounts may be requested with appropriate justification.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
