Share

GYCAF strives to create a future where young people have the tools and funding needed to lead in green entrepreneurship, helping to build a low-carbon, environmentally responsible global economy.

The fund’s core mission is to support climate initiatives led by youth, particularly in communities that are especially vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change.

Aligned with global climate frameworks, the fund contributes to the collective ambition of mobilizing USD 100 billion and limiting the rise in global temperatures to well below 2°C by 2025. In response to the latest IPCC findings highlighting a challenging decade ahead, there is an urgent need to establish supportive systems that empower youth to be at the forefront of climate solutions.

Who Can Apply:

This fund is intended for youth-led initiatives and organizations seeking financial backing for impactful projects. As part of this effort, GYCAF is rolling out the third round of its Microgrants Program, targeting individuals and groups aged 18 to 35.

Key Funding Priorities:

Sustainable Agriculture: Supporting climate-smart farming practices to secure food systems.

  • Clean Energy: Expanding access to renewable energy in underserved communities.
  • Ocean Conservation: Safeguarding marine ecosystems and building resilience to ocean-based climate threats.
  • Capacity Development: Equipping youth with skills in climate entrepreneurship and leadership.
  • Environmental Stewardship: Promoting biodiversity protection and encouraging eco-friendly behaviors.
  • Tech & Innovation: Backing inventive solutions to pressing climate challenges.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Organizations that are youth-led, meaning at least 80% of ownership or leadership is held by individuals aged 18 to 35 (as defined for the 2025 cycle).
  • Applicants must show a strong commitment to driving positive change within their communities through local-level activism.
  • Must be actively engaged in grassroots efforts within their local context.
  • Eligible applicants are those seeking funding to launch or scale up an existing initiative.
  • The proposed project must demonstrate measurable environmental and socio-economic benefits.
  • A clear and realistic plan for utilizing the grant must be presented, including how the funding will contribute to long-term sustainability and impact.
  • Proposals should reflect a well-structured strategy, including a defined timeline, budget framework, and team roles.

Program Benefits

A total of 3 to 5 projects will be selected for this cycle. Each selected participant will be eligible for a grant ranging from $500 to $1,000.
