Climate Emergency Fund

Climate Emergency Fund

We believe in people power.

We believe that direct action that disrupts business-as-usual is the most effective way for the climate movement to exert people power. 

Yet organizations that use these tactics are critically underfunded. Climate Emergency Fund exists to help fill that gap.

Climate Emergency Fund only awards grants to very specific, disruptive projects. Make sure your project is eligible by reviewing our criteria below.

Climate Emergency Fund Grantees:

• Tell the truth about the climate emergency and call for systemic change in response.
• Are pioneering innovative new climate organizing strategies with explosive growth potential.
• Harness people power through recruitment, engagement, and training of volunteer activists.
• Take part in projects that are 501c(3) eligible.

We only fund groups that use disruption in their strategy and tactics.

Sometimes, we fund groups that provide direct support for groups and movements that utilize disruption:

• Press support
• Training that supports a specific disruptive campaign
• Movement networking/coordination
• Digital infrastructure
• Skilled consulting (videography, internal organizing, etc.)

Amounts

Our grants typically range from $25,000-$85,000.

We strongly recommend applying for less than $100,000
