Request a Grant Writer

Grants to USA, Canada, and Mexico nonprofits, NGOs, and groups to support environmental recovery initiatives in response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Priority will be given to the most vulnerable communities, such as marginalized groups and Indigenous populations. The program aims to support an equitable, clean, and sustainable recovery in North America by helping communities build back better and become more resilient to future threats.

The NAPECA grant program will support projects that:

  1. Focus on implementing measures that will enhance the environment and seek community participation in COVID-19 pandemic recovery actions in an equitable, sustainable, and innovative way;
  2. Include an integral implementation plan that identifies actors, actions, beneficiaries, goals, measurable objectives and results;
  3. Achieve tangible and measurable positive environmental results, whether such results benefit species, ecosystems, sustainable development, or community preparedness/resilience. Results must be suitable for reporting within the timeframe of NAPECA support;
  4. May be replicable and/or scalable in other communities or regions;
  5. Create formal or informal partnerships or collaborations among relevant stakeholders, such as the different levels of government, local or Indigenous communities, academia, non-governmental organizations, youth organizations, and the private sector within the North American region;
  6. Leverage other resources (human, material, or financial) to achieve greater impact, replicability, and sustainability of the project and its results; and
  7. Are presented on time and through the established process.

Eligible projects could address topics such as managing discarded personal protective equipment and other pandemic-related waste, reducing habitat loss to conserve biodiversity, improving air quality, improving community support networks for times of crisis, implementing nature-based solutions to increase communities’ resilience, and supporting green economic activities in vulnerable communities.
