The Community Grants Program, now in its first year, supports justice-focused, environmental and climate projects that advance community-centered resilience priorities. Grants range from $5,000-$50,000.  Nonprofits, community organizations and Tribes in Washington, Idaho and Oregon that serve frontline communities are eligible to apply. Letters of Interest for the Community Grants are due February 28, 2023, and selected organizations will be asked to submit a full proposal.

The Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative is a participatory research program designed to support those most affected by climate change. Our mission is to assist Tribes and frontline communities in improving their resilience to climate change while addressing the legacy of systemic inequity that continues to influence their lives and livelihoods. The Resilience Collaborative is housed at the University of Washington’s Climate Impacts Group and brings together ten partner organizations across Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
