Eligibility

Who: 
Any member of the Australasian Bat Society Inc. can apply for an ABS grant.
 
Activities funded: 
The ABS Grants programme is open to applications for any proposal that:
 
• Improves or promotes the conservation of bats and their habitat in Australasia,
• Raises positive public awareness of bats in Australasia,
• Undertakes scientific research that contributes to bat conservation in Australasia,
• Supports the role that wildlife carer and rehabilitation organisations play in bat conservation in Australasia.

Projects may include (but need not be limited to):
• Scientific research, student projects, on ground bat conservation work, education programs or materials, equipment or materials purchased to support bat conservation programs or projects.
 
The ABS is interested in supporting a very broad range of projects. However, funding is unlikely to be available for the following purposes:
 
• conference travel, attendance at meetings, or other short-term activities mainly involving travel, where these are
  the principal elements of the grant proposal,
• activities which are properly the responsibility of other funding bodies or other government agencies,
• recurrent funding of existing projects,
• payment of salaries, wages etc.
 
Where:
ABS Grants are only available for projects undertaken in the Australasian region. That is the islands east of ‘Wallace’s Line’ including; Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, and the islands of the south-west Pacific.
