The Minor Foundation for Major Challenges (MFMC) is a Norwegian foundation that supports communication projects which advance the transition to a low carbon economy.
MFMC supports projects that support urgent, large-scale transformation, with a focus on changing policies and practices in public or private institutions.

The application process consists of two steps, where interested organizations are asked to initially submit a short pitch. Based on this, the organization may be invited to submit a full application if the MFMC board finds the project appealing.
- Small Grants: In this category, it is possible to apply for smaller grants of up to EUR 10,000 in a simplified one-stage process. Applications will be assessed by the MFMC board based on its aims and strategy.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Foundation supports advocates of climate change mitigation. The calls for applications are open to international applicants.
Ineligible
- Please note that the foundation will not consider applications that
- have a purely local focus,
- that focuses on implementation of community-level projects such as forest conservation,
- tree planting,
- climate change adaptation,
- or that primarily seek to disseminate climate-related information to the general public.
