- Gatherings, mobilization or events – linked to a specific campaign opportunity, theme or recruitment;
- Receiving or providing training, skill shares or convenings;

- Individual’s time working for the group;
- Climate policy advocacy;
- Climate and gender mainstreaming.
Eligibility Criteria
- They welcome applications from:
- Individuals and groups engaging mixed ages of adults and youth as well as groups focussing on engaging grandparents, families, parents and carers.
- All regions of the world, although they will give priority to the global south in order to build capacity in underserved areas/geographies where parent climate organizing needs extra support, resources and capacity.
- Grassroots groups or individuals; those with limited or no funding will be given priority. Those with external funding are still eligible and encouraged to apply.
- Your voice counts and the main objective is to make sure it is being heard. To keep things as simple and accessible as possible, they also invite individuals and groups that are not formally registered organizations to apply.
- They take quality of applications into consideration along with geographic location. Past projects grantees may be considered in order to strengthen the global climate movement.
- They recommend that each group presents only one proposal.
