Deadline: 31-Aug-22
The Patagonia is pleased to announce the Environmental Grants Program.
Patagonia finances only environmental work. They are mainly interested in delivering Grants (donations) to organizations that identify and work with the root of a conflict and that address them with a long-term commitment. Because they believe that the most effective way to generate change is from the grassroots, their funding is focused on organizations that have strong citizen support.
They support small activist groups with provocative and action-oriented agendas, with versatile campaigns to protect and preserve our environment. They believe that individual battles to protect a forest, a section of a river or endangered native species are more effective in raising awareness and establishing themselves in public opinion. They help local groups and their communities to protect their habitats through bold and original actions that generate measurable results and impact on the authorities.
Because they are a privately owned company, they have the freedom to fund unusual groups, and they believe that is where their Grants are most effective.
