GRANT CRITERIA OVERVIEW

Thank you for your interest in the Cyclades Preservation Fund (CPF). We look forward to receiving your application!


Before you apply, please make sure you browse through the initiatives that we have supported to date and read the information provided in the HOW TO APPLY section on our website.


You are asked to complete the questions of this application form in order for us to gain a good understanding of the project you are planning, what you are aiming to achieve, when and where.


Required points to note and include in your application when answering the questions below are the following:


[A] Please mention your project’s Area of interest: a. Marine Conservation, b. Sustainability, c. 

      Biodiversity, d. Local Produce, Landscape & Identity, e. Other


[B] Please mention the Type of your project: a. Field work, b. Technical Support, c. Community               engagement, d. Campaigns, e. Networking, f. Other


[C] We would like to understand the problem you are aiming to address and how you see your project contributing to its solution. Among other issues that you find important to mention in your application, please make sure that you also describe [C1] the current situation, including                    stakeholders mapping, what is currently preventing (positive) change, and how key players                identified will contribute and/or be engaged in the project. Make sure that you include [C2] a          specific and clear action plan, explaining the deliverables and expected outcomes of your project,  including [C3] measurable goals and indicators that you will monitor during execution and upon      completion of your project (to be able to reflect on successes and challenges), and [C4]                    commentary on how the sustainability of your project will be ensured (if relevant). [C5] If you see    replicability and/or scaling up potential in your project, please make sure you mention this and        explain why or how you find this important in order to lead to positive change beyond your                project’s scope. [C6] Please mention how the project’s progress and results will be communicated  to the stakeholders and the public, including CPF visibility. [C7] Please be clear about where            activities will take place: which island(s) and which specific locations (if applicable / known). If        the island(s) proposed are flexible or indicative, make sure you include a comment on this fact as  well.


Kindly note that project approval may take a while; it is, thus, important for us to understand when a project can be implemented successfully and whether there are specific limitations to a possible deferment of the starting date. Unless a project has a very strict timeline, such limitations would normally not affect our decision to provide funding or not, but could lead to asking for an updated timeline upon final approval and/or upon drafting a grant agreement. Please take this into consideration when responding to question 1.5 to make sure we understand your needs.


Kindly also note that, at times, we may approve a budget that is smaller than the budget you have applied for. In that case, we will inform you of our decision, and we will check with you if you agree with revising your action plan accordingly to receive the approved grant amount.

 

For all approved grants, regardless of the approved amount, we expect grantees to supply regular updates of their projects’ progress upon request, and to ensure CPF’s visibility as a supporter of the initiative that is (co-)funded in communication and outreach activities.

If helpful, you may include / refer in your narrative (to) the breakdown as provided in the guidance (A, B, C1-C7) or choose a different way to supply the information required, that fits better to your needs and project. 




4. Who will you work with and how?

Partners are people, groups or institutions who will working alongside you to achieve similar aims. Partnerships can take many forms, including people who will co-deliver elements of the work, organisations that provide materials or venues and people you will train to deliver part of the project.
Target groups or stakeholders are the people that your project is seeking to engage with and to influence. Target groups can be very broad (i.e. 'children') or very narrow (i.e. restaurant owners')/ They can be people (i.e. tourists), institutions (i.e. local government) or industries (i.e. the fishing industry)
This must be a number field

5. How will you track and measure the success of your work?

The next questions will ask you to describe the indicators you will use to assess the progress and, possibly, the success of your project. 

An indicator is a specific and observable accomplishment or change that could show your project has been a success. 

These sections and indicators are informed by the Conservation Collective group theory of change. Click here to take a look. 

The next sections include three different types of indicators:

· Project deliverables

· Any environmental impacts that might be applicable to your project 

· Any social, cultural or economic outcomes that might be applicable to your project

At the end of your project, you will be asked to measure and report upon your project deliverables (related to the successful conclusion of your project). You may also reflect upon the intended / planned impact and outcomes of your project.

5.1 Your deliverables

Please list and describe your 'project deliverables'.

These are the thing or things that you intend to produce, organise, achieve etc. This could be a piece of research or data collection, a course delivered, a website set up, a meeting organised, leaflets produced and distributed etc. This section refers to what successful delivery of a project should look like. Depending on the project, this could be as wide ranging from the successful completion of a piece of research, through to holding an event. Please add as many as you like. 

At the end of the project you will be asked to report back on these. 
Format: DD/MM/YY or DD/MM/YYYY

5.2 Your environmental impact Please skip at proposal stage

Please consider the environmental impact indicators you want your project to contribute to.

Impact indicators refer to the ultimate environment goal your project wants to influence. Every project should be able to choose a relevant impact indicator, even if it is not working on the issue directly (ie awareness raising projects). To help you define indicators we have developed a list of indicators under the headings above for you to choose from, or to help you develop your own.

Please note, we encourage you to list as few environmental indicators as possible. Selecting or describing just one is fine.

Please also note that while we want you to state which indicator(s) is relevant we will not expect you to measure this indicator, just reflect on it at the end of the project.

We understand that measuring can be difficult and expensive, and that change can take a long time to achieve.



5.3 Your social, cultural, and economic outcomes Please skip at proposal stage

Finally, we would like you to describe your projects intended 'outcomes'.

'Outcomes' refer to the social, cultural and economic changes that you think will contribute to the environmental impact of your work. Essentially, outcomes describe something different that we want humans to do which could in turn lead to positive change in the environment, driving the environmental impacts listed previously. 

All projects will have outcomes, and they may have several. Even projects that are aiming to have direct environmental impact are likely to have an outcome that relates to human motivations or behaviours. For example, a project to clear an area of plastics will also aim to raise awareness of this work and the harm done by plastics (to reduce the future need for clearing). Indeed, most projects will only achieve impacts through outcomes.

To help you we have developed a list of outcomes for you to choose from, or to help you develop your own. 

Please note that while we want you to state which are relevant we will not expect you to measure this, but just to reflect on it at the end of the project. We understand that measurement is difficult and expensive and that change takes a long time to achieve.
