The Care Collective Fund aims to support practical, on-the-ground action to address climate and ocean challenges by funding projects that align with three key strategic pillars:
- The plastic life-cycle eg. plastic pollution prevention, river and coastal interception, community waste management, advocacy and policy work.
- Maritime and ocean ecosystems eg. blue carbon and marine habitat restoration, marine wildlife protection and rescue.
- Community care and climate resilience eg. empowering coastal communities and youth, grassroots climate/ocean justice.
The fund is designed to enable short-term, measurable initiatives that deliver clear environmental and social outcomes, while prioritising locally led, impact-driven projects, particularly in vulnerable coastal communities around the world.
Applications are accepted from NGOs and foundations, grassroots initiatives and activists, academic research projects and social enterprises.
Successful projects will receive €10,000.
