| International | Endangered Landscapes & Seascapes Programme | Cambridge Conservation Initiative and Arcadia | Jan 20, 2026 | $120,000 | Oct 06, 2025 | The Endangered Landscapes & Seascapes Programme is inviting expressions of interest for Planning Grants. The Programme envisions a world with diverse and healthy ecosystems where people and nature live in harmony. This vision drives the programme’s funding of large-scale restoration projects that revitalise ecosystems, bring nature back to degraded landscapes and seascapes, and support sustainable local economies. To achieve these goals, the programme seeks to build a geographically diverse portfolio that addresses a variety of restoration challenges across different socio-political contexts. Funded projects aim to serve as pan-European models of inspiration, best practice, and learning. The principal activity of the ELSP is the provision of large grants for the restoration of natural ecological processes to degraded areas. However, the consultation, participatory planning, assessment, analysis and partnership-building required for landscape/seascape-scale projects takes time and resources, and may present a barrier to the development of new and innovative projects. Therefore, in addition to the provision of these large grants, Planning Grants from the ELSP will support the preparatory work needed for exciting new landscape and/or seascape restoration initiatives.

| Washington | Community Response Fund | Northwest Fund for the Environment | Jan 01, 2040 | $5,000 | Sep 19, 2025 | The Community Response Fund (CRF) distributes funds in response to needs and requests from the community. The CRF complements the board-directed grants which are the core grantmaking strategy for the NWFE. CRF grants provide short-term funding for a specific project or need which has arisen from an eligible organization. CRF funding is for work being done that advances the objectives of our Growth Management and Aquatic Ecosystems programs. We also welcome proposals that will grow the base of environmental advocates and empower communities of color working on solutions to local environmental issues. NWFE funds nonprofit organizations working in support of protection and preservation of natural resources in the state of Washington. We invest in local community-based organizations that are often the first to see, experience and understand environmental needs, threats and trends, but which may lack the resources of larger organizations. Coupled with this, we aim to amplify the voices of historically marginalized communities. Applicants must be 501(c)3 organizations or under the fiscal sponsorship of a 501(c)3 organization. The expected duration of the project should be for one year or less.

Another area of interest is preparation for the impacts of extreme weather and other crises that can lead to large-scale disruptions, immediately affecting human health and the delivery of healthcare. Public outreach, climate communication, and education efforts focused on the intersection of climate and health are also appropriate for this call. This program supports work conceived through many kinds of creative thinking. Successful applicants include academic scientists, physicians, and public health experts, community organizations, science outreach centers, non-biomedical academic departments, and more.

Through AERP, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) leverages Federal and non-Federal funding to work cooperatively with States, Tribes, and other entities as they study, design and construct aquatic ecosystem restoration projects that are collaboratively developed, have widespread regional benefits, and result in an improvement to the health of fisheries, wildlife, and aquatic habitat through restoration or improved fish passage. Restoring and connecting aquatic ecosystems offers wide-ranging benefits for both communities and the environment. Functioning aquatic and wetland ecosystems provide essential habitat for fish and wildlife, improve water quality, store excess carbon, help mitigate the impacts of drought and flood events, and support water supply resiliency for multiple uses. | https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/357615 | ||
| US National | Water, Landscape, and Critical Zone Processes | National Science Foundation | Jan 01, 2040 | Variable | Dec 09, 2024 | The Water, Landscape, and Critical Zone Processes program supports research on the Earth’s near-surface environment and how that environment responds to change.
