The Partners for Places grant program, hosted by The Funders Network, aims to enhance local capacity to build equitable and sustainable communities in the United States and Canada.
The $45,000 to $100,000 for one-year projects and $75,000 to $150,000 for two-year projects grants support partnerships between a local government sustainability or water department, a frontline community partner, and a place-based funder for the planning and implementation of equitable climate action or green stormwater infrastructure projects that address frontline community priorities.
One-year grants are provided to strong, existing partnerships to plan or implement a project. Two-year grants support the creation or improvement of collaborative partnerships and the planning or implementation of a project. The grants require one or more local foundations to provide at least a 50% match.
Support will be provided for six to eight projects in the current grant round.
