Rapid Response Fund-Apply here
In times of true crisis, emergency funding is provided in response to urgent environmental or conservation need. Each year the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund sets aside dollars in a Rapid Response Fund. The monies have been used for replacing housing or belongings for field scientists affected by civil unrest in Rwanda; cleaning sea turtle nesting sites on beaches demolished by tsunamis and purchasing medicines to combat disease outbreaks. These awards are capped at $5,000 and can be applied for throughout the year.
