Description
The Catalyst Grants program of the Klamath River Fund, administered by Humboldt Area Foundation in partnership with Wild Rivers Community Foundation, provides responsive funding for community-led projects that address urgent needs in the Klamath River Basin. These grants focus on advancing climate resilience and restorative justice, particularly in light of the significant ecological and social changes following the removal of major dams in 2023 and 2024. The program is designed to be flexible, supporting short-term, time-sensitive projects that may not fit traditional grant cycles, and aims to foster restoration, revitalization, and healing for the lands, waters, and communities connected to the Klamath River.
