Supporting community-based stewardship of landscapes and seascapes in diverse regions.

Welcome to the New England Biolabs Foundation!

We are a private foundation whose mission is to foster community-based conservation of landscapes and seascapes and the biocultural diversity found in these places. We support grassroots organizations and other NGOs in selected countries of Central America, Andean South America, and West Africa. In addition, in support of our local roots, we also provide grants for community-based conservation and cultural projects in coastal communities on the North Shore of Massachusetts.

Starting in 2021, international grants will range from $5,000 to $15,000 and local grants will range from $4,000 to $10,000. Please note that first-time applicants are unlikely to be considered for the maximum amount.
