The New Phytologist Foundation is a plant-science-focused funder that uses journal surplus to strengthen the research community, especially around New Phytologist and Plants, People, Planet. Its support is highly targeted: it recognizes early-career excellence, funds symposiums and workshops, and helps researchers—particularly early-career scholars and those from low- and middle-income countries—attend plant science meetings. Rather than broad research philanthropy, it mainly backs the community infrastructure and visibility that helps plant science advance.
Small, program-specific grants and awards with relatively limited amounts; support is often part-sponsorship for events, travel/fee waivers for symposium attendance, or fixed annual prizes. Applications are a mix of open/rolling submissions for innovation grants and event-based or annual competitions for travel grants and awards, with decisions made per symposium or annual review cycles.

Check the relevant symposium or program page for deadlines, since travel support is tied to individual events and innovation grants can be submitted anytime. Applicants should be early-career researchers or otherwise aligned with plant science, and event organizers should emphasize how the meeting advances plant-focused research and community building. For awards, monitor annual competition dates closely and ensure eligibility based on publication year or career stage.
