Got Bag - Care Collective Fund
Details
Funding Collective Progress
A new global impact grant. Supporting those who care. Between ocean health and climate action.
Real change requires resources. Yet there is an urgent need for greater access to low-barrier funding – especially for grassroots initiatives. They want to support the people and organizations doing vital work on the ground for our communities, our ocean, and our climate. Whether you’re a social enterprise, an activist, or a research project, let’s combine strengths.
3 strategic pillars
They want to support new strategic partnerships with systemic pillars:
- Community of Care and Climate Resilience (e.g. Empowering Coastal Communities and Youth, Grassroots Climate/Ocean Justice)
- Plastic Life Cycle (e.g. Plastic Pollution Prevention, River and Coastal Interception, Community Waste Management, Advocacy and policy work)
- Maritime Ecosystem (e.g. Blue Carbon and Marine Habitat Restoration, Marine Wildlife Protection and Rescue)
