Environmental Grants
The Rose Foundation administers numerous environmental grants funds, including two separate grassroots-oriented funds in California; watershed-oriented funds in California, Washington and Oregon; and placed-based funds which generally operate on a county-specific level, as well as other specialized funds. Each fund generally has its own unique issue focus and/or geographic scope, and most funds have separate application processes. Prospective applicants should carefully review the following fund descriptions, and follow the application instructions for the fund which is the best fit for their program.
Applicants from small organizations, or those who have minimal experience applying for a foundation grant, should probably start by looking at the Northern California Grassroots Environmental Fund, the California Wildlands Grassroots Fund, or the grassroots grants element of the Puget Sound Stewardship and Mitigation Fund.
