Greetings from the Brower Center. As a member of our community, I am asking
for your help getting the word out about a pretty amazing grant opportunity
called the *Emerging Climate Champions Award*, sponsored by the Enlight
Foundation that just came on my radar.

This open call ($25M pot, at least $1M multi-year grants) is targeted at
youth-led climate action groups. *The deadline is fast approaching
(register by August 29, full application by September 22), *and I had no
idea about it; so far the organizations I have reached out to who might
qualify were similarly unaware.

To qualify, organizations must be youth led (ages 15-30), an actual 501c3,
and in operation for two years. I think they are having trouble finding
applicants that fit this criteria because they extended the deadline. These
kind of open calls are pretty rare and so I want to make sure we cast a net
far and wide. Can you spread the word to anyone you think would be
interested?

You can find out more about the opportunity at this link

Thank you for being a part of this community!
Warm regards,
