Deadline: 14-May-21
The Ray C. Anderson Foundation has announced a call for proposals for the NextGen Grant Program that would measurably and directly reduce existing or avoid future emissions of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
The best projects will include:
- Direct and Measurable Reduction of C02e Strong proposals of this kind will demonstrate high-quality estimations of direct CO2e reductions. The Environmental Protection Agency has a greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator that may be useful in calculating these estimates. An organization may prefer to utilize a different CO2e calculator or estimate carbon savings in other ways. So long as an organization’s methodology for such estimations is clearly stated, applicants may utilize any tools they wish.
- Scalable and Creative Solutions That Connect Different Sectors or Regions The Committee is looking for innovative solutions that will spark new lines of thinking and connect ideas across sectors to make a major impact on reversing global warming. Therefore, proposals should contain solutions that are easily scalable and replicable across sectors or in different geographic regions.
- Environmentally Based Solutions That Improve Social Equity Social equity is essential for effective climate action. Social equity in areas such as women’s education, Indigenous People’s land rights, racial equity, and more could result in a massive reduction in emissions as well as improved livelihoods across the globe. The Committee is looking for proposals that have positive social impacts in addition to reductions in CO2e.
Funding Information
The Committee is issuing a new call for proposals for one $100,000 grant that can help to reverse global warming.
