The Caribbean BluEFin Call for Proposals 2026 is now open. This chance offers grants up to $250,000 for Blue Economy projects in select Caribbean countries. The deadline is March 31, 2026. The Global Environment Facility funds the project, and the United Nations Environment Programme puts it into action. Organizations can apply for ideas that build nature-based jobs and bring real gains in biodiversity, climate strength, and local economies. This article covers the benefits, who can apply, and steps to submit.
The Caribbean Biodiversity Fund runs the Caribbean BluEFin project. It looks for plans that link nature to economic growth. These plans must show clear wins for wildlife, weather toughness, and community well-being.
Deadline: March 31, 2026
Grants range from USD $200,000 to $250,000 for each chosen project. Groups that add their own money or help, called co-financing, stand out more in the review. Here are the main perks:
- Grant size of $200,000 to $250,000 per project
- Co-financing boosts your chances during selection
Projects must happen in these countries: Dominican Republic, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, or The Bahamas. Teams from more than one country can apply, but the money must go only to work in these places. All proposals need to be in English.
To apply, gather these items and send them by email:
- Fill out the Project Proposal template.
- Add the Detailed Budget using Annex A template.
- Include Articles of Incorporation for your group and any partners.
