People's Trust for Endangered Species focuses on protecting threatened wildlife through species-led research, practical conservation, and public education. Its giving is especially oriented toward mammals and other vulnerable fauna in the UK, while also backing international projects that help recover endangered species and reduce direct threats. Nonprofits that propose fieldwork, monitoring, habitat restoration, or species-specific recovery plans are the best fit, particularly when the work is grounded in clear conservation outcomes.
Offers project grants for specific conservation and research initiatives, with support spanning both UK and worldwide efforts; grants appear to be competitive and program-specific rather than broad general operating support, with emphasis on scientific and practical conservation work.
Align proposals to one of PTES’s named priority species or a clearly threatened species recovery need, and emphasize measurable conservation impact, field methods, and practical outcomes. For UK work, foreground relevance to mammals and monitoring/survey needs; for international work, show strong local partnerships and how the project contributes to long-term species recovery.
