Conservation International Foundation

See schedule ograntmaking division:ci's grantmaking division is made up of four programs:- critical ecosystem partnership fund (cepf): cepf is a global program that provides grants to nongovernmental organizations and private-sector partners to protect critical ecosystems. Cepf's grants are guided by regional investment strategies developed with stakeholders; target hotspots in developing and transitional countries; go directly to civil society groups to build this constituency for conservation; create strategic working alliances among diverse groups, combining unique capacities and eliminating duplication of efforts; and achieve results through an ever-expanding network of partners.- nature finance division (nfd): nfd develops financial mechanisms to support field-level conservation and ensure that economic benefits associated with conservation efforts go to local communities. Nfd creates alliances with large-scale donors and corporations to bolster entrepreneurship in conservation and create investable opportunities to protect nature. Nfd pioneers ways for local communities in developing countries to directly benefit from continuing to be responsible stewards of nature. - global environment facility (gef) agency: the ci-gef agency serves as an intermediary between the gef and ci's partners. The agency designs and implements a portfolio of projects to achieve global environmental benefits and support the needs of partner countries. It develops inclusive and country-driven projects to make efficient and effective use of gef resources, and to leverage opportunities that align with the agency's goals. - green climate fund (gcf) agency: ci's gcf agency works directly with project proponents, governments and partners to develop high-quality funding proposals and oversee implementation of gcf-funded projects. These projects promote a paradigm shift to low-emission and environment-resilient development. Ci-gcf ensures that these projects achieve positive outcomes while adhering to gcf policies and procedures.
