Trusts and grants

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) is very grateful for support from charitable trustees and grant-makers who are helping to create a world where nature is protected, valued and loved.

RZSS is a wildlife conservation charity that receives virtually no statutory support and relies on voluntary contributions. Every year we apply for grants to deliver exciting and innovative projects that simply wouldn’t be possible without support.

Every grant given to RZSS is immediately put to good use, helping funders to make a positive difference and achieve the impact they want to make.

  • Helping to conserve some of the world’s most endangered species and habitats 
  • Enabling young people to gain much-needed life-skills through nature-based learning programmes, both curriculum linked and informal
