Play for Nature is funding you

You are a biodiversity conservation NGO and would like to submit a project to be financed?

Find below our calls for proposals and how to apply!

Every year, we provide technical and financial support to associations that carry out biodiversity conservation projects on the four continents.

These projects can take different forms but must always keep in their center the biodiversity conservation objective as well as the awareness of the local populations concerned by the project.

Biodiv’Sport Call for Projects — Play for Nature

The call for projects is not yet open. The next edition is expected to open in July 2026. It will be announced on this page and on our social media channels. In the meantime, please review the information below to prepare your application.

For any questions: fleur@playfornature.org

What’s changing from the next call for projects

Play for Nature is consolidating its call for projects under the Biodiv’Sport programme. There will no longer be a separate Biodiv’World call for projects.

All submitted projects must include a sport component in service of biodiversity conservation. However, if your project also includes a significant research and/or direct conservation action component (monitoring, scientific surveys, active species protection…), you may apply for a “Research & Conservation” grant supplement.

In practice:

Biodiv’Sport grant: up to €5,000
Biodiv’Sport grant + Research & Conservation supplement: up to €10,000 (€5,000 Biodiv’Sport + €5,000 supplement)

The supplement gives access to an additional section of the application form, where you will detail your research/conservation component.

Plan your project budget according to these ceilings, or ensure you have additional co-funding in place.
