Save The Frogs Day Grants

Celebrated the last Saturday of April every year, Save The Frogs Day is the world’s largest day of amphibian education and conservation action. To ensure the success of our worldwide efforts, SAVE THE FROGS! offers Save The Frogs Day Grants to dedicated groups who are organizing Save The Frogs Day events and seeking financial assistance. 

The total amount of disbursements each year is based on the financial support received from the SAVE THE FROGS! community, so we encourage and appreciate your donation to SAVE THE FROGS!.

Funding Amount

Save The Frogs Day Grants generally average US$350.

If you have an exceptional event planned, or a series of events, you can request up to US$750.

If you wish to serve as the distributor of grant funds to multiple groups in your country, you can request more than $750, but you must first contact us with details and gain approval prior to applying.

What We Do And Do Not Fund

What we do and do not fund is clearly described on the SAVE THE FROGS! Grants page. We suggest you read it prior to applying.

As a brief summary, we fund projects that demonstrate a clear benefit to the conservation of amphibian populations. Projects could be centered around research, education, policy, and/or habitat. If your project is scientific research, how will you translate your science into action? Be sure to explain in your application.
