GEF Small Grants Programme in Trinidad and Tobago 

The GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP), implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is the main channel through which the Global Environment Facility or GEF provides grant funding to civil society organisations (CSOs). In tune with its tagline Community Action, Global Impact, the SGP provides financial and technical support to CSO projects that conserve and restore the environment while enhancing people's well-being and livelihoods at the community level. 

Grant Amounts

The SGP provides two (2) kinds of grants: planning grants and full grants. Planning grants provide
up to US$5,000 and full grants up to US$50,000 (though nationals of Trinidad and Tobago will receive their grant in TT$ at the prevailing rate of exchange). Planning grants can be very helpful in preparing for a bigger project or for groups that do not have much experience in proposal development and project management.
