- Community capacity building;
- Conservation education;
- Management of elephant populations;
- Critical diseases – EEHV or Tuberculosis.Criteria for Funding:

- Projects that designate local/public education/awareness as a significant program outcome must include an evaluation component.
- Projects must begin in the year that they are applying for funding, (but not before funds are to be awarded) and contain a clearly defined beginning and end.
- Funds will not be awarded for elements of a project that will have already occurred before awards are made.
