Funding
Patagonia Grants
Patagonia has funding available for citizen-supported organizations
that identify and work on the root causes of environmental
problems and approach issues with a commitment to long-term
change. Eligible projects must be action-oriented, strategic,
build public involvement and support, and focus on basic causes.
Patagonia focuses on funding around local groups working to
protect local habitat, and supports individual efforts to
protect a specific stand of forest, stretch of river or indigenous
wild species. For more information visit http://www.patagonia.com/enviro/grants_app.shtml.

Ben & Jerry's Foundation
The Ben & Jerry's Foundation offers competitive grants
to not-for-profit, grassroots organizations throughout the
United States which facilitate progressive social change by
addressing the underlying conditions of societal and environmental
problems. All of the Foundation's funding decisions are made
by a team of Ben & Jerry's employees that meets three
times a year to review proposals. Although the Ben & Jerry's
Foundation doesn't prioritize any particular issue area for
funding, they do focus on the types of activities and strategies
an organization uses for creating social change in any number
of areas. The Foundation will only consider proposals from
grassroots, constituent-led organizations that are organizing
for systemic social change. We support programs and projects
that are examples of creative problem-solving. Grants range
from $1,001 to $15,000. For details, visit http://www.benjerry.com/foundation/guidelines.html
Appalachian Community Fund
ACF's grantmaking program supports organizations where people
are organizing themselves to address problems in their own
communities and neighborhoods and where organizations develop
and grow with democratic structures to be vehicles for change.
Issues range from worker's and women's rights to environmental
justice, community-based economic development, racism, and
youth issues, among others. The focus for our grantmaking
is grassroots organizing for social change. Grants made from
the General Program have a Maximum grant size of $7,500. Last
year the average grant was $6,000. We accept proposals for
the General Program annually on November 1. To view guidelines,
