Baltic Sea Conservation Foundation funds practical conservation work that directly improves the ecological state of the Baltic Sea, with a strong emphasis on habitat restoration, nutrient pollution reduction, marine protected areas, fisheries impact reduction, and river/coastal restoration. It supports a mix of project grants, legal action, equipment and investment needs, and capacity-building assistance, making it a flexible funder for NGOs and conservation organizations working across the Baltic Sea catchment. The foundation also appears to value organizational strength and implementation capacity, as shown by its grant-writing support, zero-interest loans, scholarship support, and a substantial multi-year operating grant for an NGO in the Southeast Baltic region.

Mixed funding model: project-based grants, small planning/grant-writing awards, one-off equipment or investment support, legal-action funding, zero-interest bridge loans, and occasional targeted capacity/operating grants. Most support is region-specific and mission-aligned, with some opportunities reimbursed after expenses and at least one larger multi-year grant (€150,000 over three years) for a single NGO.
