In celebration of our 20th anniversary, we are working to establish a sustainable DICE Scholarship Fund.

HOW YOU CAN HELP US

Meeting the biodiversity crisis demands the work of more and better-trained conservation professionals. DICE aims to raise £12m to create a permanent endowment capable of awarding 35 scholarships and bursaries a year to outstanding postgraduate students from regions where DICE believes increased capacity could make the greatest difference to conservation – notably Indo‐China, the countries of the former USSR, and the Middle East; and also to selected countries within our traditional constituencies in Africa, Asia and the Americas where no scholarship programmes are currently offered. For more information, please download our Case for Support.

Donations

CHEQUES & CREDIT CARDS

Our Donation and Gift Aid Form is available here. Credit card and cheque payments may be made using the same form.UK taxpayers are requested to use the Gift Aid Scheme, which increases the value of your gift to DICE. Any sum can therefore be given tax efficiently by UK taxpayers under the Gift Aid scheme. Higher rate taxpayers can also claim a higher rate tax relief, reducing the cost of their gift significantly.

ONLINE

We will have an online giving site set up soon.

Donations through the University of Kent are eligible for match funding. For more information please contact Susanna Paisley.
