The Great Apes & Gibbons Program’s strategy focuses on 24 priority ape-range landscapes across 18 countries in Africa and Asia, as well as two countries, the United States and Kenya, where apes are held in captivity outside of their range.

Once received, your request will be directed to the appropriate program staff for review and you can expect to hear from us within three to four weeks.
2. Submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) and Full Proposal – If your organization’s work aligns with our values, strategic priorities and Equal Employment Opportunity requirements, your organization may be invited to submit a Letter of Inquiry, and a subsequent Full Proposal, which includes the submission of additional organizational and project-specific documentation.
3. Proposal review and funding determination – The LOI and Proposal review may include program officers, directors, vice presidents, the executive director and the board of trustees.
