Helping IIC and Future Generations

We believe conservation is of great value to everyone. By looking after our own and others’ cultural identity we are helping to improve the richness and quality of life for all. The way we do this is by educating, enabling and recognising excellence. This commitment drives everything we do.

Opportunities Fund

By becoming an IIC Gold, Silver or Bronze supporter, you are donating to the IIC’s Opportunities Fund. IIC's Opportunities Fund was established in 2010 and supports membership for individuals and institutions who cannot easily afford the annual subscription fees, this grant now also provides needs-based learning grants and seed funding for collaborative projects focused with Band 2, 3 and 4 countries.  Find out more here.

Brommelle Fund

The Brommelle Memorial Fund was established in 1990 in memory of Norman Brommelle, who was Secretary-General of IIC between 1958 and 1988. The fund is used to provide assistance for students of conservation who are IIC members and wish to attend the Institute's International Congresses. Find out more here.
 

IIC Keck Award

In 1994, the IIC Council announced the establishment of the IIC Keck Award, generously endowed by Sheldon and Caroline Keck to commemorate their shared lives of distinguished achievement in conservation. The cash award is presented every two years at the IIC Congress.  You can find out more here.
