Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) funds plant conservation through a global botanic-garden network, with a clear emphasis on seed banking, native and endangered plant conservation, and strengthening the capacity of gardens and arboreta to deliver conservation work. Its grants are often partnership-based and tied to specific initiatives, especially projects that connect ex situ conservation, sustainability, and collaborative action across institutions. Nonprofits that are botanic gardens, arboreta, conservation centers, or regional plant-conservation partners are the best fit, particularly if they work in biodiversity hotspots or developing-country contexts.
Small annual or program-specific grants and awards, often delivered through partner initiatives and network-based programs; typically global, collaborative, and focused on practical conservation projects rather than open-ended general support.
