Deadline: 15-Jan-21
The Minor Foundation for Major Challenges (MFMC) is a Norwegian foundation that supports communication projects which advance the transition to a low carbon economy.
The Foundation supports advocates of climate change mitigation. The calls for applications are open to international applicants.
MFMC supports projects that support urgent, large-scale transformation, with a focus on changing policies and practices in public or private institutions. The foundation’s priorities for the 2019-2023 period are to:
- encourage and support innovation in climate communication
- increase the number of voices and narratives in climate advocacy
- help strengthen social and political movements that open up for radical change
- concentrate on supporting European proposals
The Minor foundation supports communication projects that:
- aim to reduce GHG emissions in line with the urgent transformation required
- lead to policy or behavioural change among decisionmakers or lead to changes in policies or practices in public or private institutions
- increase the public’s support for climate policy measures
- are otherwise difficult to fund
