Summary

Fondation Franklinia is a Swiss private foundation established in 2005, based in Geneva, dedicated to preserving threatened tree species worldwide. The foundation provides grants to support nature conservation projects, focusing specifically on in-situ conservation of tree species classified as Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. It also funds botanical collections, taxonomic research, and the Global Tree Assessment initiative to categorize all 60,000+ tree species. The foundation is currently accepting proposals for projects focused on in-situ conservation of globally threatened trees in the Mediterranean basin. Applicants must submit proposals in English including a project proposal document, logical framework, and budget spreadsheet. The current call has a deadline of March 25, 2026, with decisions expected in June 2026 and project start no earlier than August 2026. The foundation is governed by a Board with support from an Experts Committee, and a permanent Secretariat in Geneva manages operations. The team includes former IUCN veterans with deep expertise in species assessment and plant conservation. The foundation highlights that trees receive significantly less conservation funding than charismatic animals despite supporting most life on Earth, with approximately 6,500 of the 11,000 assessed tree species facing extinction.

Historical Context

Foundation established in 2005. Permanent Secretariat established in Geneva in 2018. The current call for proposals targets the Mediterranean basin with a March 2026 deadline, suggesting periodic regional calls.
