These Practice Standards for Conservation Trust Funds (CTFs), updated in 2020, provide evidenced-based norms for use by CTFs and those institutions and individuals who provide CTFs with financial and technical support.

This initiative has been led and managed by the Conservation Finance Alliance (CFA) – a global network established in 2002 to promote awareness, expertise, and innovation in conservation finance globally. The CFA includes almost all CTFs and major donors to CTFs, as well as many other conservation organizations, networks, and individual experts.

The Practice Standards for Conservation Trust Funds (CTFs) were originally prepared in 2014 by Kathy Mikitin and Barry Spergel for the Conservation Finance Alliance. The standards have been enormously influential in helping CTFs document and improve their operations and for donors to have a greater understanding of, and impact on, CTF capacity at different points in their institutional maturation.
In 2019, the Conservation Finance Alliance (CFA), along with a strong task force of experienced volunteers from CTFs and donor organizations, and in collaboration with the networks of Conservation Trust Funds – RedLAC (the Latin American and Caribbean Network of Environmental Funds), CAFÉ (the Consortium of African Funds for the Environment) and APNET (Asia-Pacific Conservation Trust Fund Network) began the planned updating of the Practice Standards with the aim of maintaining the same evidenced-based norms that have proven so useful for the CTFs and the institutions and individuals who support them.
