Description
The Grow Your Roots Mini-Grant is a small, flexible funding opportunity designed to help grassroots organizations that have recently received support from the California Wildlands Grassroots Fund (Cal Wildlands) strengthen their internal capacity. The grant provides up to $500 per year (plus a modest travel stipend if needed) for activities that build organizational and administrative skills, such as trainings, consulting, software, or equipment. The goal is to enhance the long-term effectiveness and sustainability of groups working to protect California’s wildlands, rather than directly funding programmatic work.
