Patagonia is seeking applications for its Environmental Grants Program to support innovative work that addresses the root causes of the environmental crisis and seeks to protect both the environment and affected communities.
They focus on places where they’ve formed a connection through outdoor recreation, and through our network of retail stores nationally and internationally.
They encourage work that brings underrepresented communities to the forefront of the environmental movement and defend communities whose health and livelihoods are threatened by environmental exploitation.
