Each section below corresponds to information you may need to provide on the platform. {% hint style="success" %} Do not worry about getting it perfect. When you apply, the GainForest team reads your Project page and gives feedback. You can refine and update your ideas before anything is finalized. {% endhint %} Apply for your Project ## Application flow Use this sequence when preparing your application.
1. Create your Project pageExplain your community, what you want to document, where the work happens, and how AudioMoth will be used.
2. Plan around AudioMothAudioMoth deployment is required. Biodiversity observations and Tainá are optional supporting tools, but passive audio data collection must be central to your plan.
3. Add a rough plan and budgetInclude a 3-month timeline, expected outputs, who is involved, and a rough USD 1,000 budget. AudioMoth hardware is deducted first. You can refine this later.
4. Submit the one-click applicationUse the Grants page to apply with your Project. GainForest will review your Project page and give feedback.
5. Refine and sign contractAfter review, update your Project if needed. If approved, you will sign a contract before funds are released.
6. Do the work and post updatesRun the Project, deploy AudioMoths, upload evidence, and keep posting public updates on your Bumicerts Project page.
## What to write on your Project page Use the numbered steps below as a writing guide. These are the main things reviewers need to understand when they read your Bumicerts Project page. {% stepper %} {% step %} ### Project title Keep it simple and descriptive. It should say what you are doing and where. **Example:** `Community Soundscape Library — Coastal Kenya` {% endstep %} {% step %} ### About your community Introduce your community, organization, or team. Explain who you are, where you work, and what you are trying to protect or restore. This helps people understand the context behind your Project. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### What you are doing Describe your Project in plain language. What will you collect, document, or build over the next **3 months**? As you write, make **AudioMoth** central to the Project. You do not need to use every Bumicerts tool, but you **must** include AudioMoth deployment. Biodiversity observations and Tainá can support your audio work if they fit your community’s plan. * **AudioMoth** — required for this grant. Use this to deploy recorders and build a soundscape inventory. AudioMoth is the only bioacoustic sensor integration currently supported. [Open AudioMoth tool](https://gainforest.app/audiomoth) * **Biodiversity observations** — optional. Use this if you will record species sightings, field photos, dates, locations, and notes. [Open observations](https://www.gainforest.app/en/observations) * **Tainá** — optional. Use this if you want a Telegram field companion for interactive learning, species identification, field notes, voice notes, and biodiversity observations. [Open Tainá](https://www.gainforest.app/en/taina) {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Your workflow Walk through your process step by step. What happens first, second, and third? Who is involved at each stage? **Example:** Deploy AudioMoths at 3 sites, upload recordings to Bumicerts, identify useful clips, run review sessions with local experts, then upload labelled clips with species metadata. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Timeline This grant runs for **3 months**. Give a rough sense of what happens when. It does not need to be exact — just show that you have thought through the pacing. * **Month 1:** Confirm AudioMoth sites, set up equipment, deploy sensors, and begin collecting recordings. * **Month 2:** Upload recordings or deployment records, review early data, and run first expert or community review sessions. * **Month 3:** Complete the pilot, finalize datasets or soundscape records, and post Project updates on Bumicerts. {% endstep %} {% step %} ### What you will deliver Be specific about your outputs. What will exist at the end of the Project that did not exist before? Think about outputs such as: * number of biodiversity observations * hours of audio collected * number of AudioMoth deployments * number of expert or community review sessions * datasets uploaded * Project updates posted on Bumicerts * field stories, photos, clips, or reports shared as evidence {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Data Council optional If you are forming a Data Council, name the members and describe their role. A Data Council is a small group of **3 to 5 local people** who advise on data privacy, consent, and how Project data should be shared, published, or kept private. They do not necessarily annotate the data. Each member is paid **USD 50**, separate from your main grant. The local champion, usually the applicant, receives the stipends and is responsible for disbursing payments to each member. A Data Council can help decide: * what data is safe to publish publicly * whether any locations, species, people, or cultural knowledge should be protected * what context should be included when data is shared * how community members should be represented in Project updates * whether any evidence needs review before it is posted [Read about Data Councils](/for-nature-stewards/for-organizations/gainforest-data-council.md) {% endstep %} {% step %} ### Budget: USD 1,000 Break down how you plan to use the grant. Be clear about what each item is for. Funds can be used for equipment, programming, and logistics. Think about costs like: * required AudioMoth hardware, plus batteries, SD cards, or weatherproofing * technical setup, such as help with data upload or processing * logistics, such as transport to deployment sites or food for field days * expert sessions, such as paying local experts for review sessions Example budget: * 2 x AudioMoth units — USD 180 * Transport and logistics — USD 300 * Technical setup — USD 200 * Expert review sessions — USD 320 * **Total — USD 1,000** Data Council stipends, USD 50 per member, are funded separately and do not come out of the USD 1,000 grant budget. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ## Submit the one-click application Once your Project page has enough information, go to the Grants page and click **One-Click Apply** for Rewilding the Web.

Use the Grants page to apply with your Bumicerts Project.

Open Grants page After you apply, GainForest will review your Project page and may give feedback. You can update your Project page, rough plan, and budget before anything is finalized. ## Before you apply Prepare these before submitting: * a short description of your community, organization, or team * the environmental work you want to document * where the work is happening * how AudioMoth will be deployed, including rough sites, timing, and who will manage the recorders * whether you will also use optional Bumicerts tools such as biodiversity observations or Tainá * the scientific or monitoring questions you want to explore * what data or evidence you already have * what data you hope to collect * a rough 3-month timeline * a rough USD 1,000 budget * whether you already have a research or academic partner * how the grant could support your work ## After review After GainForest reviews your application: 1. You may receive feedback on your Project page, timeline, or budget. 2. You can refine your Project before it is finalized. 3. If approved, you will sign a contract outlining your deliverables. 4. Once the contract is signed, funds can be released according to the agreed payment schedule. 5. During the Project, keep uploading evidence and posting updates on your Bumicerts Project page. ## Related pages {% content-ref url="/pages/xgReEeqR97dOEzn5otnl" %} [Rewilding the Web Grant](/for-nature-stewards/overview-1/rewilding-the-web-grant.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/fesR6guaWjbeW1QgvFdU" %} [Grant Conditions](/for-nature-stewards/overview-1/rewilding-the-web-grant/rewilding-grant-conditions.md) {% endcontent-ref %}
