Climate Change

Dear Climate Change Grant Seeker,

Thank you for your interest in the Carolyn Foundation.

Carolyn Foundation’s highest environmental priority is addressing climate change as the most important issue affecting our world. The Foundation’s objective is to support aggressive & equitable carbon reduction between now and 2030 as the foundation for achieving net-zero carbon by 2050.

Based on feedback from the community, past Carolyn Foundation grantees, and other foundations and funders, Carolyn Foundation is taking a two-pronged approach to achieve our objective:

Core Partners grants
BIPOC/Rural-led responsive grants

Carolyn Foundation’s 2023 BIPOC/Rural-led responsive grant cycle deadline has passed. The deadline to apply for the next grant round will be February 15, 2024, and applications will open on December 15, 2023.

Please feel free to call me with any questions: 612-596-3279

With warm regard,
Becky Erdahl, Executive Director
