ALIPH is a Geneva-based foundation that funds the protection and rehabilitation of cultural heritage in places affected by war, crisis, natural disasters, and climate change. It is especially oriented toward rapid-response and emergency stabilization work, while also supporting longer-term rehabilitation of museums, monuments, manuscripts, collections, and intangible heritage. Nonprofits that can act quickly in high-risk environments, document damage, and work with local heritage professionals or institutions are a strong fit.
ALIPH gives through targeted action plans, emergency relief grants, and periodic open calls, with simplified and often rapid approval processes for crisis contexts. Grants can be small emergency awards or larger multi-million-dollar envelopes tied to specific countries, disasters, or conflict zones, and the foundation tends to favor practical, time-sensitive interventions with clear heritage protection outcomes.

Lead with a concrete emergency or rehabilitation plan, clear risk to specific heritage assets, and a short timeline for action. Emphasize local partnerships, technical heritage expertise, documentation methods, and the ability to deliver in conflict or disaster settings; proposals that connect immediate stabilization with longer-term conservation are especially compelling.
