The Catalyst Grants program of the Klamath River Fund, administered by the Humboldt Area Foundation, is designed to support community-driven climate resilience and restorative justice initiatives throughout the Klamath River Basin. Inspired by the major dam removals of 2023 and 2024, these grants focus on accelerating restoration and revitalization efforts, particularly in rural and Native communities. The Catalyst Grants are intended to fill gaps where traditional funding may not be available, prioritizing projects that address urgent community needs, foster environmental restoration, social equity, and local empowerment.
