Summary
Fondation Franklinia is a Swiss private foundation established in 2005, based in Geneva, dedicated to financially supporting nature conservation projects focused on threatened tree species worldwide. The foundation's primary objective is ensuring the survival of globally threatened trees and improving their long-term conservation status. It addresses an underfunded niche, noting that many foundations focus on charismatic animal species while trees — comprising over 60,000 known species and Earth's largest biomass component — remain underserved. The current call for projects specifically targets the Mediterranean basin, seeking proposals for in situ conservation of globally threatened tree species in that region. Projects must address species classified as CR, EN, or VU on the IUCN Red List. The foundation also supports the Global Tree Assessment initiative evaluating approximately 60,000 tree species for the IUCN Red List. Historically, it has funded botanical collections, taxonomic studies, red list development, reintroduction programs, and ex-situ conservation by botanical gardens. Applications must be submitted in English using three mandatory standardized templates (project proposal, budget, and logical framework). The deadline for the current call is March 25, 2026 at midnight CET, with decisions expected in June 2026 and earliest project start in August 2026. The foundation operates through a Board of Directors, an expert committee for technical evaluation, and a Secretariat in Geneva.
Historical Context
Fondation Franklinia was established in 2005 as a Swiss private foundation. A Secretariat was established in Geneva in 2018 to implement strategy and manage operations. The foundation has funded projects across dozens of countries worldwide and supports the Global Tree Assessment initiative. The current call focuses on the Mediterranean basin, suggesting rotating regional focus areas.
