Deadline: 15-Mar-21
The Groundswell Giving is accepting applications for its Core Funding Grant Round for high-impact, strategic climate advocacy.
The Groundswell is a new Giving Circle created in response to the Climate Crisis, accelerating action and supporting solutions by funding high-impact climate advocacy in Australia.
Funding Information
- $40,000 Major grant;
- $10,000 Small grant.
Eligible Projects
The Groundswell is interested in funding organisations tackling the climate crisis that:
- Build the movement – activate new and strategic demographics or sectors to get involved in tackling the climate crisis;
- Change the story – build urgency for stronger action from trusted voices in the community;
- Shift the money – dry up the pipeline of funding to fossil fuel companies;
- Change the politics – enable greater leadership within state and Federal Governments.
Eligibility Criteria
- The grant is open to all applications, but are conscious that small to medium-sized organisations have the least access to major donors and large donor databases, so these sized organisations (under $5 million revenue a year) are strongly encouraged to apply.
- Please note the grant does not offer funding to for-profit organisations or businesses.
- The program knows that conservation and restoration are critical factors in solving the Climate Crisis, however, Groundswell funding is targeted specifically at advocacy work.
- Please note the program can only make grants to Deductible Gift Recipient 1 entities, or organisations that have a partnership agreement with a DGR1 entity. If the applicant does not have DGR1 please get in contact with Groundswell.
- At this stage, only organisations and campaigns within the Australia Pacific region are eligible to apply for funding.
