Summary

The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation was established in 2006 by HSH Prince Albert II to continue Monaco's legacy of environmental stewardship. The Foundation provides grants to conservation and sustainability projects globally, with a particular emphasis on three thematic pillars: climate change and renewable energies, combating biodiversity loss, and water management and desertification. Since its founding through at least 2009, over 95 projects received grants totaling more than $20 million USD. The Foundation operates through both direct project grants and a series of strategic initiatives including BeMed (Beyond Plastic Med) for Mediterranean plastic pollution, the Global Fund for Coral Reefs, the MedFund for Mediterranean protected areas, Initiative Pelagos for cetacean conservation, and others. Its geographic priorities include the Mediterranean Basin and Polar regions, though grants have also been made to projects in Latin America, Africa, and other regions. Organizations can submit projects directly via the Foundation's website for consideration. The Foundation's broad mandate covers biodiversity, marine conservation, climate mitigation, and sustainable development. It has established international chapters across Europe, North America, and Asia, reflecting its global reach. This particular page documents a 2009 grant of €409,416 to the Field Museum for a three-year biodiversity conservation project in Amazonian Peru — one example of the Foundation's past project funding. The Foundation remains active with ongoing initiatives and continues to accept project proposals.
