The ABWAK Small Zoos Grant is aimed at our members who are working or volunteering in a small collection within the UK. The grant will allow the recipient to develop their collection in any number of ways.

 

The grant could be used to:

​

 - develop animal enclosures

 - help to evolve animal training procedures

 - improve animal welfare

 - improve signage within a zoo

 - improve education facilities

 - improve visitor engagement

 - research within the zoo

 - learn more about a species or the running of the zoo

 

. . . these are just a few examples!

​

If you have an idea but not the financial support, then apply and aid in the development of your small zoo. 

​

The Small Zoos Grant is available once a year, up to the value of £500 and is 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 either 31st July and will take up to 1 month to process.  ABWAK will notify the 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 application form with as much information as you feel appropriate.
