About

The Climate Science Alliance understands the barriers many groups and individuals face to obtaining funding (e.g., limited staff capacity and time, complex reporting requirements, to name a few), and has seen firsthand how these barriers limit our community partners in pursuing, implementing, or continuing projects of value to our region.

The Climate Science Alliance re-grants funds to Indigenous organizations and individuals to build capacity and support collaboration. The goal of the regranting program is to support our partners’ professional, research, and educational efforts in a transparent and equitable manner. 

Investing in Organizations

Organizations

Strengthening the capacity of organizations to advance collaboration, planning, and actions across southern California and beyond. These grants often support efforts to explore and integrate Indigenous knowledges, participation, and leadership in climate adaptation planning and stewardship.

Investing in Projects

Projects

Our Small Grants support efforts to fill gaps in existing projects, help seed fund new efforts, help disseminate activities, or support individuals to advance projects that benefit their community or advance stewardship of the land and waters.
