The Climate Science Alliance provides funding and support to community partners to build capacity and support collaboration around climate adaptation and resilience. The goal of the Reciprocity and Regranting program is to support our partners’ professional, research, community, and educational efforts in creative ways while upholding a transparent and equitable process.

All awarded projects must have a climate change emphasis and uplift climate resilience and adaptation solutions through community-led activities. Activity topics are associated with available funding and have previously supported coastal resilience, cultural fire, food sovereignty, land stewardship, restoration, arts, education, workforce development, and individual and organizational capacity.
