Climate Communication Fund ( Up to €10,000 Grants) - NAIJA STICK

Climate Communication Fund ( Up to €10,000 Grants)

What is the Climate Communication Fund ?

Many climate CSOs work on complex topics with small budgets, missing out on their potential, outreach, impact and speed. They are caught in a circle. 

• The Climate Communication Fund seeks to break that circle.
• Climate topics can be hard to understand or easy to ignore. 
• The Climate Communication Fund seeks to strengthen the communication capacity of climate CSOs. 

With stronger communication skills and tools, CSOs can improve awareness raising, gain public support, influence decision-makers, build trust with communities, and counter misinformation.

• We understand that every CSO has its own story and challenges. 
• Therefore, awarded grant tailors capacity building based on the circumstances of each grantee. 
• We specify what is needed, and then act on it. 

Together. To increase effective and efficient communication skills of climate CSO staff, allowing them to accelerate and increase their impact.
