Summary

The Captive Care Grants, administered by the Primate Society of Great Britain (PSGB), provide awards up to £1000 for projects that enhance primate welfare in captivity. These grants support research and educational initiatives aimed at improving the conditions of captive primates. While the funding amount is modest, the endorsement from PSGB significantly boosts the credibility of applicants seeking additional funding from other sources. Membership in PSGB is a prerequisite for grant eligibility.
