MEMBER CONTRIBUTION

Prospective applicants should emphasize close programmatic fit with marine conservation, aquarium networks, membership or relief needs, and propose modest, clearly scoped requests consistent with past grant sizes. Outreach should be relationship-oriented: use the organization's website to identify and contact named development staff or officers (phone/email), reference relevant ties (AZA membership, collaborative work, event sponsorship), and frame requests as sponsorship/member support or disaster/employee-relief rather than seeking a formal open grant competition.
