Grant amount: Up to $25,000
Description: The Network for Landscape Conservation’s Catalyst Fund strives to accelerate the pace and practice of collaborative landscape conservation and stewardship across the United States. The Fund makes strategic investments in strengthening the collaborative capacity of place-based, community-grounded landscape partnerships to better position partnerships to achieve long-term conservation and stewardship success. Grants can be used for supporting partnership coordination staffing and for costs associated with other collaborative process activities such as convenings, communications, partner and community engagement, governance development, and strategic planning and prioritization. A portion of the Fund is dedicated to supporting Indigenous leadership in landscape conservation and stewardship, and proposals are accepted from tribally-led partnerships. Approximately $335,000 is available in 2024, with 13 to 15 grant awards anticipated.
