Global Greengrants Fund

Global Greengrants Fund (GGF) mobilizes resources for environmental and social justice, making small grants to civil society organizations and indigenous federations globally. As the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates economic, social, racial, and other inequalities, with severe impacts on indigenous and other resource-dependent communities around the world, GGF is increasing support to grassroots organizations as they respond to the crisis in their communities and advocate for an equitable recovery. This grant provides GGF with flexible support for general operations.
