Youth Climate Justice Fund 2026 Grants

The Youth Climate Justice Fund (YCJF) invites youth-led climate justice groups worldwide to apply for grants in 2026. Local groups may request up to USD 20,000 and national groups up to USD 40,000 to support climate justice activities and organising. YCJF uses a participatory, youth-led grantmaking process with regional committees to review and decide grant recipients, and offers capacity-strengthening and peer-learning support alongside the funding.

Grant funding to support projects and organising, plus capacity-strengthening and peer-learning resources.

Groups led by young people (majority leadership under 36) with regional eligibility and a focus on climate justice and socio-environmental justice.

Submit an online application via the YCJF submission portal.
