What we support
Please take a look at our current grant partners to see examples of the organisations that we support.
We want to work with organisations to understand how young people view the climate emergency and what issues are most important to them. This could include practical environmental projects, carbon reduction initiatives, education and awareness work, or advocacy and campaigning.
