  New $275,000 grant cycle for youth-led organizations tackling climate change

 Deadline: 03/15/24 

The Loss Affected Youth Grants Council (LDYGC), in collaboration with the Climate Justice Resilience Fund (CJRF) and the Open Society Foundations, has launched a new 270,000 grant focused on concrete actions to address the impacts of climate change. 

A call for proposals has begun for a $5,000 grant cycle. Targeting vulnerable communities. 75% off Get premium access to ✓ New and upcoming grants 

✓ Give notifications according to your interests 

✓ E-books, training videos and courses 

✓ Free webinars Please tell me the discount Concrete actions mean concrete actions taken to address loss and harm in vulnerable communities within the priority areas listed in this section.

 Therefore, this grant cycle excludes all applications that focus on capacity building and awareness campaigns, unless they are such an important element that without them the project's original objectives cannot be achieved. 

Funding category In this year's grant cycle, the council will distribute a total of $275,000 to nine youth organization projects, including two large grants of $50,000 each and seven medium grants of $25,000 each.

 It can be divided into cases. In this context, consider the following definition: A large grant (50,000) represents a significant allocation  of funding aimed at supporting long-term initiatives that have broader, measurable, and significant results. 

Larger grants may take more than a year to implement. Medium grants (25,000) are financial allocations to support longer-term initiatives with more specific objectives and more flexible  implementation.

 What does the grant focus on?  The Council will fund selected loss and damage projects that focus on one or more of the following thematic areas: 

Theme 1: Recovery and Rehabilitation from Extreme Weather Events: The set of projects under this theme includes projects that address subsequent loss and damage. Examples of projects within this theme include rehabilitating homes, rebuilding resilient infrastructure, restoring lost ecosystems and landscapes, and establishing early warning systems for extreme weather events. 

Theme 2: Relocation and Resettlement of Communities Affected by Slow-Onset Phenomena: This theme includes projects that address the challenges of slow-onset phenomena such as  sea level rise. Projects under this project may include solutions that build alternative livelihoods for communities affected by loss or damage or support communities affected by climate change. For example, introducing new agriculture into areas becoming increasingly arid due to desertification, developing alternative livelihoods in areas affected by rising sea levels, and supporting communities forced to relocate as traditional lands become uninhabitable. I will support you. 

Theme 3: Addressing the impacts of non-economic loss and damage: These are projects that aim to address the often overlooked impacts of the climate crisis, including: Examples: loss of cultural heritage, loss of community knowledge, loss of natural heritage, impact on mental and physical health. 

Projects  include programs to preserve the cultural practices of communities displaced by climate change, the establishment of community centers to support mental health  in areas frequently affected by extreme weather events, and the creation of community centers to support the mental health of communities frequently affected by extreme weather events. 

This could include strengthening local health systems to cope and actively commemorating events. 

Theme 4: Addressing the impacts of economic loss and damage: These projects aim to strengthen the economic well-being of communities experiencing loss and damage. Projects on this topic may concern the provision or dissemination of economic protection. 

Examples of projects  include providing climate risk insurance mechanisms for climate-sensitive communities and creating emergency funds for coastal communities.
