Summary

The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation (FPA2) is an international non-profit founded in 2006 by HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco. It supports projects that promote a new relationship between humanity and nature, funding initiatives across biodiversity, climate change, ocean and water resources. To date, the Foundation has awarded over 80 million euros in grants to more than 800 projects worldwide, with 11 international branches spanning Europe, North America, Asia, and Latin America. The Foundation accepts project proposals through an open submission process on its website. It operates across three primary geographic focus areas: the Mediterranean Basin, the Polar Regions, and the world's Least Developed Countries. Key marine-focused initiatives include the MedFund, the Pelagos Initiative (Mediterranean cetaceans), the Global Fund for Coral Reefs, and the Monk Seal Alliance. The BeMed (Beyond Plastic Med) initiative specifically targets marine plastic pollution in the Mediterranean and beyond. The Foundation also runs thematic initiatives such as Re.Generation (youth and sustainability), the Forests and Communities Initiative, the Polar Initiative, DIMFE (Mediterranean freshwater ecosystems), OACIS, and the Human-Wildlife Initiative. For ocean and marine projects, SDG 14 (Life Below Water) features prominently among funded projects. An annual Monaco Blue Initiative event convenes ocean stakeholders, and a Blue Economy and Finance Forum further amplifies the Foundation's engagement with the ocean sector. While the Foundation operates globally, the primary environmental focus areas for marine work skew toward the Mediterranean and polar environments. NGOs working in North Sea, Baltic, or Southeast Asian contexts may still be eligible but face stronger competition and less geographic alignment than Mediterranean-based applicants. Rolling project submission is possible via the website, providing year-round access to potential funding.

Historical Context
