As a member of our community, I am asking for your help getting the word out about a pretty amazing grant opportunity called the <b>Emerging Climate Champions Award</b>, sponsored by the Enlight Foundation that just came on my radar. </div><p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-size:14px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"> </p><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;font-size:14px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"><img style="display:block;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto" alt="Emerging Climate Champions Award" height="270" src="https://storage.levitate.ai/images/9ee05b1b-52a2-4bee-9e5a-71eb94f702e1/c6faba1d-b907-4203-bdeb-42ff3474b525.png" width="217"></div><p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-size:14px;font-family:arial,sans-serif"> </p>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">This open call ($25M pot, at least $1M multi-year grants) is targeted at youth-led climate action groups. <b><span>The deadline is fast approaching (register by August 29, full application by September 22), </span></b>and I had no idea about it; so far the organizations I have reached out to who might qualify were similarly unaware. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"> </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px">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?</div>
