Applications are invited from members who need grants to carry out research, surveys etc. in the field of natural history.
This Fund has been set up, with the original bequest of the late Gordon Osborn (President of the Society from 1975-1991), to offer financial support to Society members in order that they may carry out a research project in the field of natural history, a survey of a particular local area or species, an educational programme or any other cause considered worthy by the administrators of the fund.
Any member of the society may apply in writing to the administrators of the fund for a grant. Applications should include a description of the activity requiring support and an estimate of the costs involved.
Full information about the fund is available in the MKNHS Guidance Handbook, Appendix 2
If you have a query or wish to apply for a grant, please email MKNHS Secretary: info@mknhs.org.uk
