How quickly must my project produce tangible ecological results?
All other factors being equal, a project team that can produce results quickly has a higher likelihood of support than a project team that produces results more slowly. The Fund understands that achieving results that are real, significant, and of regional consequence takes time and may occur well after the funding support has lapsed. In those cases, the Fund weighs the likelihood of producing the expected result after the project has concluded in making a funding decision.
