Applications are now open for the Holohil Grant Programme (HGP), which provides essential support for global wildlife conservation and education initiatives. The program offers Holohil transmitters—used for tracking and studying animals—at reduced or no cost to qualifying projects with high conservation value.
Since its inception, HGP has primarily supported bat and raptor research. Today, it invites a broader range of applicants working on underrepresented species, provided the projects demonstrate scientific rigour and clear conservation impact.
Funding Details
Each quarter, selected projects will receive up to CAD $2,500 worth of Holohil transmitters.
