$30K-$180K
Arcadia Fund provides multi-year grant support through programmes it already backs rather than through direct open applications. Support can include core costs, existing projects, and partnerships to develop new programmes, with typical grant sizes listed at $30K-$180K. Its funding focus includes biodiversity and climate solutions, digital documentation of threatened cultural heritage, and open access to knowledge, with a Pan-African geographic focus in this listing.
Multi-year grants
Arcadia makes few, multi-year grants.
Core cost funding
Arcadia funds core costs, existing projects and develops partnerships to create new programmes.
Long-term support
Arcadia builds long-term relationships with grant recipients and may replicate and expand successful projects or award repeat grants.
Conserving and restoring nature
Grants support solutions to the global biodiversity and climate crises.
Recording cultural heritage
Grants support digital documentation of cultural heritage which is poorly recorded and under threat.
Promoting open access
Grants help make knowledge available for free online, and help people find and use it.
Religious dialogue, cultural heritage
Reporting support, capacity building, peer learning network
Confirm current funding cycle is open. Review reporting burden. Check geographic restrictions.
This is effectively invite-only: Arcadia does not accept direct funding applications, so the practical route is to apply through programmes it already supports. If you engage through a partner programme, emphasize fit with Arcadia’s stated focus areas and the case for long-term or core-cost support.
