The future is in our hands.

Right now, across Australia, communities are protecting Country, defending frontline communities, building renewable power and challenging the fossil fuel industry.

It's working. But in our last grant round, we could only fund 5% of the pitches for funding we received, meaning a lot of brilliant, ready-to-go climate work is going unsupported. 

This EOFY, we're raising $80,000 by June 30 to fund two additional climate grants before the end of the year, getting critical resources to the leaders driving climate progress around the country.

What happens next depends on what we do now.
