Description

Through the generous support of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, The Nature Conservancy is announcing a request for proposals for two additional rounds of grant funding for projects with potential to substantially increase the use of natural climate solutions through the U.S. Natural Climate Solutions Accelerator program. This grant-funding program is focused on helping kick-start innovative and scalable approaches to capturing greenhouse gas emissions by using natural and working lands in the United States. The program’s steering committee approved the first five grants in the fall of 2018 and plans to complete two additional rounds of grantmaking during the next 12 months.

The deadline for the second round of applications is August 16. Applicants can request up to $250,000 per project. The third application period will be announced in the early 2020. Up to $1.7M will be awarded in these two rounds of grant making. In addition to financial support, recipients will be offered mentorship, and connection to networks and new partnerships.
