Aims/priorities: Patagonia believes that “local battles to protect a specific stand of forest, a stretch of river, an indigenous wild species or a community from a polluting refinery are both effective at building public support and confronting larger, more complicated issues - like climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental justice” and accordingly provides grants for grassroot initiatives in the UK and the Republic of Ireland that are addressing these issues.
Who can apply? Non-profit organisations with a non-governmental status, doing environmental work in the UK or the Republic of Ireland can apply for funding.
The Company is happy to fund risk-taking, off-the-beaten-track groups.
Grant amount: Grants of between US$5,000 and US$15,000 are available.
Only one proposal is accepted per group, per fiscal year (1 May - 30 April).
Application process: There are two annual deadlines:
- 31 May for a response by the end of August.
- 30 September for a response by the end of December.
Applicants should take the eligibility quiz on the Patagonia website. If the proposed work is eligible, applicants will be directed to the application form.
Deadline: Saturday 31 May 2025.
