Deadline: 10-Jan-23
Applications are now open for the Climate, Health, and Community Fund.
Do it Now Now is working in collaboration with Impact on Urban Health to distribute funding in support of diverse-led community organisations operating in the climate, environment and health sphere. They are specifically looking to work with organisations who are engaging with communities in the London boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark.
The fund aims to support inclusive climate action, build on existing interventions and to ensure the climate conversation leaves no one behind. They recognise the links between the climate crisis and poor health outcomes for racialised communities, and they are aware that there are many organisations and individuals working within their communities trying to address these issues. This isn’t an easy task, especially for diverse led organisations. That is why they want to find out how they can support you and the communities you engage on topics intersecting climate, environment and health.
