A green future is a prosperous future! So, this is the moment to change it all — the business climate, the political environment, and how we take action on climate.
This year, the Earth Day 2022 Theme ‘Invest In Our Planet’ requires you to act boldly, innovate broadly, and implement equitably.
Understanding the urgency of creating a better environment, many NGOs, Nonprofits, and individual volunteers address the challenges and raise public awareness of the planet’s well-being.
Environmental issues continue to dominate the global agenda of international donor agencies as more and more funding is allocated to address them. Therefore, they seek out strong NGO participation and actively support them with new grants and other resources. In this compilation, we have created a list of grant opportunities for NGOs/Nonprofits/Individual Volunteers working for a safe and healthy environment.
