We are pleased to be able to offer the Environmental Enrichment grant, to financially aid our members in an enrichment project to benefit the animals in their care. This grant could be used to help acquire a new enrichment device, or to purchase tools and equipment needed to make novel enrichment items. It could also be used to help applicants gain new skills to aid in making and developing enrichment schedules for a variety of species. This grant is open to all professional members, but we particularly encourage members at smaller collections to apply.

 

The Environmental Enrichment grant is available once a year, with 3 grants up for grabs, with the top applicant receiving £1,000, the second placed applicant will receive £500, and third placed applicant will receive £250. These grants are offered via an application process to our professional members. Applications will be assessed and graded impartiality by our council focus group. All grant applications must be received by the deadline above and will take up to 1 month to process. ABWAK will notify the successful applicant shortly thereafter.

 

Applicants must show via the following application form that the financial support offered by ABWAK will aid in as many ways possible and we ask you to display this within your application. Please fill in all the sections with as much information as you feel appropriate.

 

Good luck!
