Climate and Environmental Research Grants from Foundations | Atom Grants Climate and Environmental Research Grants from Foundations Foundation and nonprofit grants funding climate, environmental, ocean, and ecosystem research. A live list for researchers looking beyond federal agencies. Federal support for climate and environmental science is under more pressure than any other field.

The administration's budget request proposed eliminating NOAA's climate research funding outright, renewable energy research offices took deep cuts, and geoscience programs have been squeezed across agencies. For many climate, ocean, and atmospheric researchers, the question in 2026 is not which federal program to target but where to find funding that does not depend on the federal budget at all.

Updated automatically from Atom's grant database Energy and Environment Program The Sloan Foundation's Energy and Environment Program funds interdisciplinary research to advance the U.S. transition to low-carbon energy systems through collaborative, evidence-based scholarship.

Rolling submissions $ 1,000,000 Sloan Foundation Neurobiology and Changing Ecosystems Supports interdisciplinary early-career teams researching how neural systems adapt to rapid, human-driven environmental changes through collaborative, high-impact science.

Due Sep 1, 2026 · 12 d $ 60,000 RCSA The Erol Foundation’s Climate Program funds efforts that use science and community action to rapidly and equitably reduce greenhouse gas emissions and drive systemic climate solutions. Forecasted Jan 15, 2027 Erol Foundation Forecasted The answer, increasingly, is private philanthropy.

Environmental and climate science has one of the strongest foundation ecosystems of any field, spanning large general-purpose funders, dedicated climate philanthropies, and conservation organizations that fund applied research.

Several foundations have expanded their grantmaking in direct response to federal retrenchment, and private funders are often more open to policy-relevant, applied, and interdisciplinary work than traditional federal review panels. This collection focuses specifically on foundation and nonprofit funding for climate, environmental, ocean, ecosystem, and energy transition research. It updates as funders open new cycles.

Foundation deadlines do not follow the predictable federal calendar, so checking a live list beats keeping a spreadsheet that goes stale.
