Description
Homeworld Collective’s Garden Grants supports ambitious, early-stage projects connecting biotechnology with greenhouse gas removal. The program funds technology development and translatable research, giving emerging ideas room to develop while fostering exchange within the climate biotech community. The 2025 greenhouse gas removal cycle was supported by co-funders Spark Climate Solutions and the Grantham Foundation.
The Garden Grants name reflects the intention to create a safe place for ideas to grow and cross-pollinate. Beyond research funding, Homeworld offers funded researchers a yearlong cohort program with structured meetings, tailored mentorship, and a Demo Day showcasing research progress to funders.
