Through Project Grants, PACT provides funding for activities which establish, operate, maintain, and enhance protected areas in Belize. This support will facilitate conservation, maintenance of biodiversity, protection of ecological processes, provision of visitor enjoyment, and improvement in the quality of life in buffer communities. Applicants to Trust monies must submit proposals in line with PACT’s priority areas for funding.

	Small Grants The Small Grants Program was established in 1997 and is the first grants program at PACT. Its purpose is to provide financial support primarily to Community Based Organizations for protected areas management and conservation. Under the Small Grants Program, prospective grantees submit proposals in response to a “Call for Proposals,” which are advertised at least once a year.
	Medium-Sized Grants Medium-Sized Grants are awarded to governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations or to several organizations partnering to apply for a larger grant for projects within a specific protected area or several protected areas within the National Protected Areas System which contributes to advancing the implementation of the National Protected Areas System Plan.
	Large Grants The Large Grants Program exists to offer well established and eligible organizations and agencies, financial support to implement large, multi-year projects that pursue PACT’s mission, goals and priorities. Under the Large Grants Program, prospective grantees develop proposals with direct contribution to the National Protected Areas System and its connectivity with other regional management regimes.
	Planning Grants Planning successful project proposals requires substantial preliminary work. Planning Grants will be made available for stakeholder consultations and problem analysis in project planning, conceptualization, design and formulation of a proposal for submission to PACT.
