Details: 

The Climate Justice Resilience Fund is a grantmaking initiative dedicated to helping women, youth, and indigenous peoples create and share their own solutions for resilience. They believe that lasting climate resilience must start with those communities first hit by climate change. They help communities reduce risks, manage shocks, rebound, and continue charting a path to sustainable development.

The Climate Justice Resilience Fund was created in 2016 through a grant from the Oak Foundation. It is a project of New Venture Fund, a 501(c)(3) public charity registered in the United States. In 2017, the Kendeda Fund became CJRF’s second member foundation.  They welcome funding partners who share their commitment to addressing climate change by giving voice and power to women, youth, and indigenous communities.

As a new funder, the CJRF does not yet have an average grant size. The CJRF grantmaking strategic framework prioritizes multi-year grants and grants larger than USD 100,000. However, grant requests each on their own merits will be considered. Regional funding is currently budgeted as follows: USD 5.5 million for the Bay of Bengal; USD 5.5 million for East Africa; USD 3.6 million for the Arctic; and USD 2.5 million for grants that are global in scope.
