MicroGrants
In 2020, in part funded by a GFCF grant allocation, and extended by a UNDP grant in 2021, in response to the Covid19 situation, EcoThailand significantly boosted its MicroGrants program which is designed to kickstart or enable new or innovative projects on Koh Phangan and some of the surrounding Gulf Islands. The focus of MicroGrants is towards the enhancement or support of the local environment and its communities.
MicroGrants generally would be valued in the range of 1000-10,000 thb and are potentially renewable at intervals. The applicants must supply an equivalent amount, or more, to the contribution made by EcoThailand, whether in cash or in goods or services, valued at market prices.
All grant holders are automatically enrolled into the EcoThailand Alliance Network and should, wherever possible and appropriate, strive to follow the Alliance Network vision and objectives.
Applicants should submit a case in writing to EcoThailand for evaluation, please Contact Us for further information.
EcoThailands decision on all applications is final.
