The Minor Foundation for Major Challenges has announced two grant opportunities that support communication projects which advance the transition to a low carbon economy.
MFMC supports projects that support urgent, large-scale transformation, with a focus on changing policies and practices in public or private institutions. The foundation’s priorities for the 2019-2023 period are to:
- encourage and support innovation in climate communication
- increase the number of voices and narratives in climate advocacy
- help strengthen social and political movements that open up for radical change
- concentrate on supporting European proposals
Grant Categories
MFMC traditionally announces calls in two different categories: Large and Small grants.
- Small Grants: In this call for applications it is possible to apply for smaller grants of up to EUR 10,000.
- Large Grants: In this call for applications the foundation is looking for projects above EUR 10,000 – typically in the range of €20,000 to €200,000, although larger projects may be considered.
Funding Criteria
- They will fund projects which:
- encourage and support innovation in climate communication and/or
- increase the number of voices and narratives in climate advocacy and/or
- help strengthen social and political movements that open up for radical change

- are from an individual: they only fund organisations who have some kind of formal existence, such as charities, associations etc.
