Application Checklist

Eligibility

Partners must align with one of three focus areas: marine conservation/science, life science research, or local communities
The foundation partners with scientists, NGOs, and governments — individual applicants are unlikely to be eligible

Project Scope

Marine work focuses on establishing and enforcing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) globally — projects should fit this priority
Geographic focus for marine work is Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Caribbean Sea — not North Sea or Baltic

Constraints

The foundation works through strategic partnerships — there is no public open call for proposals or standard application process
Beware of impersonation scams — legitimate foundation communications only come from @fondation-bertarelli.org addresses
