Summary
Support is available for community-based efforts that are working to create a more balanced, healthy, and sustainable world. Funding is directed toward organizations with a strong local presence and a commitment to long-term positive change. These grants are intended to strengthen the core operations or specific projects of eligible groups that align with broad goals around environmental wellbeing, food systems, and overall community health.
This opportunity is open to nonprofit organizations based in the United States and surrounding areas. Groups applying are generally smaller in size and focused on hands-on work with their communities. The funding supports a wide range of activities, with flexibility in how the funds may be used, depending on the organization’s mission and current initiatives.
Amounts typically range between several thousand and up to tens of thousands of dollars, awarded for work carried out over the course of a year. Applications are considered during specific times of the year, with decisions shared a few months after each deadline. The program runs on a regular annual schedule and invites proposals from organizations that are grounded in direct service and community impact.
While individual applicants and for-profit businesses are not eligible, the program encourages work that is collaborative, inclusive, and rooted in meaningful change. Projects that explore healthier ways of living, strengthen connections to nature, support local resilience, or uplift underrepresented voices are all examples of the kind of efforts that may fall within the scope of interest.
Overall, this is a chance for values-aligned groups to receive support for the important work they’re doing on the ground, helping to create a stronger, more just future for the people and places they serve.
