The Great Migration

We are happy to report The Leakey Foundation's grants department has now migrated to the cloud version of our granting software, Grantmaking. Read on to learn more about some of the changes you may experience moving forward.

Introducing the 2018 Baldwin Fellows

This spring we awarded a record number of Baldwin Fellowships. The prestigious Franklin Mosher Baldwin Fellowship was established in 1978 to provide scholars from developing countries with the opportunity to receive training abroad in the fields of paleoanthropology and primatology. The spring 2018 Baldwin Fellows include scholars from Ethiopia, India, Iran, South Africa, and Tanzania.

Introducing Our Spring 2018 Grantees

The Leakey Foundation held our spring 2018 granting session on May 5, 2018. Our Board of Trustees unanimously approved 30 research grant proposals for funding.

Introducing Our Fall 2017 Grantees

The Leakey Foundation held our fall 2017 granting session on December 2, 2017. Our Board of Trustees unanimously approved twenty-three research grant proposals for funding.

The Fall Grant Deadline Approaches!

Our grants department is already receiving plenty of inquiries and quite a few letters of recommendation for our PhD candidate applicants, so I know there is a lot of grant writing going on around the world right now. While you get those proposals submitted, I thought I would share with you a few pointers.
