The Global Greengrants Fund channels small grants to groups who are protecting and replenishing water sources, fighting to keep toxins out of rivers and lakes, and fostering a healthy planet with clean, abundant water with a core belief that without protecting water at its source, there wouldn’t be any clean water to pump. Greengrants is working in concert with grassroots organizations to expand access to water worldwide.
Global Greengrants Fund is a public charity that seeds environmental action through small grants. The strategy is to support local leaders—primarily outside the United States and Western Europe—in fighting environmental justice. It partners with local activists to identify the most pressing problems and promising campaigns. Global Greengrants Fund has supported thousands of activists and organizations in more than 140 countries.

How to secure Grants?
The Greengrants Fund does not directly support any organization, nor does it call for proposals. The Greengrants community is comprised of activists and leaders from across the world, of all ages, nationalities, and backgrounds. It has regional advisory boards – the local activists who are intimately knowledgeable about the most pressing issues in their regions. They identify, mentor and monitor the grantees.
