More on the Climate Fund

CIV:LAB is redefining philanthropy and shaping the role of community and industry participation in achieving national climate goals through place-based grant-making. Our grant-making fund (Climate Fund I) supports organizations or initiatives prioritizing equity, environmental justice, and economic development in the climate space. CIV:LAB is currently implementing the Climate Fund in New York City, Michigan, and Los Angeles, with additional US locations to be added in 2024.

We are looking to fund climate organizations and programs through unrestricted, one-time grants that range in size from $10k to $100k. CIV:LAB is looking to support:

• Community-based organizations
• Nonprofits/NGOs
• Government agencies, projects, or programs
• Academic programs or projects
• Startups

CIV:LAB invites organizations and initiatives to apply for a grant to support core funding and efforts in three priority funding areas:
