SCHOLARSHIP FUND:

The WWC is a not-for-profit project of The WILD Foundation – a U.S. 501 © (3) organization established in 1974 -- and its many collaborators. The budget for each Congress is raised by the Executive Committee in the host country, through donations from individuals, private foundations, corporate sponsorships and government agencies, and from delegate fees.
  • The Scholarship Fund – Your donation to this fund will be 100% used to sponsor a delegate from a developing nation to the 8th WWC, and afford that delegate as much of the training, information and program involvement as possible. We have a long list of requests for such assistance, and would also gladly accept your suggestion if you wish to fund anyone in particular. “Average” cost (depending on travel distance, etc) for transport, visa, per diem, registration is approx $4,500-5,000 for a person from the southern hemisphere, or $2,500-3,000 for a native representative from North America or Mexico. Please contact the Chairman of the Executive Committee directly if wish to help…thank you!
