Are you passionate about social justice, climate change, and environmental degradation? Do you love learning about and supporting nonprofits that empower communities on the front lines and help protect their ways of life and our planet? If so, keep reading because we are introducing one of our 1% For the Planet partners, Global Greengrants Fund!
Environmental degradation and climate change are among the most urgent issues the world faces, and as the environment erodes, human rights violations grow. The impacts of climate change, pollution, and unsustainable development are threatening food security, displacing communities, and exacerbating poverty and existing inequalities. Global Greengrants Fund believes that solutions to environmental harm and social injustice come from the people whose lives are most impacted.
Since 1993, Global Greengrants Fund has mobilized resources for communities worldwide to protect our shared planet and work towards a more equitable world. Together with their diverse community of people on the frontlines and their supporters, they have impacted the lives of millions of people.
Global Greengrants Fund is different from other international organizations in that they don’t try to dictate an agenda from afar. Instead, they trust local people to advance solutions and strategies that will best fit their needs, providing them with the resources to make their ideas a reality.
To get money into the hands of people with the most effective solutions, Global Greengrants designed a grantmaking model that allows them to find and invest in ideas without bureaucracy or red tape. They offer a 27-year track record of successful funding decisions made by their trusted network of dedicated volunteer experts, who act as the eyes and ears on the ground. These volunteers deliver knowledge of context and first-hand expertise, connecting the resources to local solutions that promote environmental justice. As a result, they are able to work in some of the most remote corners of the world, with groups and individuals who lack access to money through other means. For at least 40 percent of their grantees, Global Greengrants Fund is their very first funder. This model is the heart and soul of Global Greengrants Fund.
At The Earthling Co., our work is focused on changing the way our daily products are made and consumed. This is our way of fighting the plastic industry - by shifting our wasteful, plastic ridden, throw-away society and advocating for more accessible plastic-free products for all Earthlings.
While we believe that what we do is important for our world’s consumption habits, we know it’s not the only thing we can be doing to help fight the climate crisis and stand up for our planet and the Earthlings who are most impacted.
As a for-profit business that cares deeply about the environment, we believe it’s crucial to elect a well-rounded approach in our fight for a more harmonious world by providing resources to grassroots organizations who help protect our planet for generations to come. We chose to partner with Global Greengrants Fund to help support and mobilize local communities who are on the frontlines creating solutions for systemic climate, environmental, and social justice issues. When searching for partners, we fell in love with Global Greengrants Fund’s passionate network and their ability to get funding into the hands of those who can make the biggest impact. We are beyond grateful for their partnership and are excited to continue to make lasting and impactful change with them.
