FUNBIO is a Brazilian biodiversity funder focused on channeling strategic capital into conservation, especially where it can strengthen institutions, local stewardship, and long-term ecosystem protection. Its portfolio is heavily programmatic and mechanism-driven, supporting large public-private initiatives for Amazon protected areas, ecological restoration, indigenous territorial management, and sociobiodiversity value chains, alongside competitive research fellowships for conservation science. It tends to fund projects with clear implementation structures, strong partners, and measurable environmental outcomes rather than general-purpose nonprofit work.
Mostly grantmaking through structured mechanisms, public calls, and program-specific financing windows rather than open-ended unsolicited proposals. Grants vary from small research fellowships to large pooled or blended-finance programs with multi-year budgets, typically distributed via edital/call, consortium governance, or partner-managed subprojects.

Monitor FUNBIO’s program pages and public editais closely, since deadlines vary by mechanism and are often announced by call rather than on a fixed annual cycle. Applicants should expect to apply through program-specific selection processes, usually requiring alignment with conservation outcomes, geographic eligibility, and strong implementation capacity; unsolicited proposals are generally not accepted for large mechanisms like Floresta Viva and similar funds.
