In 2024, the Belize Fund continued to deliver its support to Government and Non-Government partners involved in the sustainable use of our coastal and marine resources through its Blue Bonds Program.
Under the Blue Bonds Program, the Grants Award Program (GAP) provides grant funding opportunities to eligible non-government entities to contribute towards improving the sustainability of Belize’s marine and coastal resources. The Government Strategic Allocation (GSA) provides earmarked funding to the Government of Belize to achieve the eight (8) conservation commitments and other undertakings signed to in the Conservation Funding Agreement.
Under the Grants Award Program (GAP), the 3rd call for proposals was rolled out. In this call, for the first time, we included a list of priority areas for funding under each of the four Thematic Areas. This assisted applicants in submitting project ideas that are more impactful and strategically aligned with the Belize Fund.
