Honor the Earth is currently accepting applications from Native organizations for their Spring 2010 Building Resilience in Indigenous Communities Grant. The grant supports grassroots, community-based organizations directed and controlled by Native people in their efforts to increase Indigenous communities’ capacity to prevent and adapt to climate change in ways that preserve and restore Indigenous cultures.

Funding for the Building Resilience in Indigenous Communities Initiative will focus on two goals:

1. To support and forward the development of culturally-based, Indigenous solutions to climate change based on re-localizing food and energy economies; 

2. To foster restoration of traditional knowledge as a key adaptation and mitigation strategy to ensure a safe and healthy future for our children and the next seven generations.

Grants range from US$1000 to $5000, and applications are due 30 March 2010.
