Deadline: 08-Apr-24
The Youth Harbour is currently accepting applications for Action Grants to fund projects or initiatives of any size that aim to reduce the impacts of the climate crisis.
At The Youth Harbour, they offer grants of varying amounts to meet the needs of youth-led organizations or projects that tend to be under-funded, under-resourced, and may not yet have proof of concept to approach long-term funders.
Their role is to provide flexible, trust-based grants in the hopes that grantees can be connected to other funding sources and opportunities in order to sustain their work in the movement.
Action Grants aim to recognize the value of staffing, programming, and administrative costs. These grants are meant for youth who are running an organization or project with a long term vision towards sustainability and climate action, through ways such as policy advocacy, cohort programming, and more.
