The programme follows the Henry Ford European Conservation Awards, which was originated in Britain in the early 80&#8217;s with the vision of encouraging a wide range of projects that support, preserve or restore the local environment, heritage and natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>Since its inception in 1983, Ford has awarded more than $5 mil (USD) in grants to thousands of environmental projects in 60 countries through Asia, the Caribbean, Central America and the Middle East. The programme was created to empower individuals and non-profit groups donating their time and effort to preserve the environmental well-being of their communities. By providing necessary funding and visibility, we hope to encourage the multiplication of similar grassroots efforts that will serve as catalysts for change across the globe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location:\u00a0<\/strong>Nigeria<\/p>\n<p><strong>Description<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Ford Grants Programme provides financial support to ongoing, not-for-profit environmental projects in the following categories:<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>Categories under which an applicant can apply are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Protection of the Natural Environment &#8211; Projects to conserve flora, fauna and\/or their respective habitats.<\/li>\n<li>Conservation Engineering &#8211; Projects to reduce the rate of consumption of natural resources and\/or pollution.<\/li>\n<li>Environmental Education &#8211; Projects aimed at creating or increasing environmental awareness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Eligibility Requirements and Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Employees, officers, directors, dealers and agents of Ford Motor Company and affiliated and subsidiary companies, representatives, legal advisors, any other advertising, promotion, and fulfillment agencies (\u201cProgramme Team\u201d) and the immediate family or members of the same households (whether related or not) of such employees are not eligible to apply or participate in the programme.<\/li>\n<li>Immediate family or relatives of members of the Ford Motor Company Conservation &amp; Environmental Grants jury panel members are not eligible to apply or participate in the programme.<\/li>\n<li>Organizations that are affiliated to members of the Ford Motor Company Conservation &amp; Environmental Grants jury panel members may apply provided it is explicitly mentioned in the application form.
