Daughters for Earth supports the growing movement of women around the world who are directly contributing to solving the climate crisis by protecting and restoring the Earth.
Application Requirements:
Daughters provides grants to place-based, women-powered efforts working to solve the climate crisis by protecting and restoring our lands, waters and seas and implementing regenerative agriculture methods around the world. Daughter for Earth believe in partnering with and getting tangible support to women who are deploying solutions, pioneering deeply collaborative efforts, and healing humanity’s connection to nature.
The specific focus on providing grants to nature conservation and regenerative agriculture efforts is based on partner One Earth’s science-based, holistic framework to solve the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss. Science shows that it is still possible to bring our climate back in balance, restore biodiversity, and ensure a healthy future for humanity. In order to address these interconnected crises, we must transition to 100% renewable energy, protect and restore 50% of our world’s lands and seas, and transform our food and fiber systems to regenerative methods. Resourcing, supporting, and amplifying the collective movement of women-powered efforts working to implement these solutions is an opportunity we cannot afford to miss.
The Daughters application process opens June 6th. Round 1 applications are due June 27th, and Round 2 applications are due July 14th. Grant awardees will be notified by September 15th, and the full list of grant recipients will be announced publicly in late September. Awardees will receive their funding in the Fall.
Organizations worldwide are welcome to apply. Daughters awards one-year grants that range from $10,000 to $50,000 USD.
