Maliasili Conservation Fund (MCF) is a grant from Maliasili that provides multi-year, unrestricted core funding to Africa's leading locally-led conservation organizations.

MCF aims to cover 10–25% of each grantee's annual budget during the funding period. The fund targets a $16M raise to support at least 26 organizations; $12.3M has been raised to date.
