Forestry and Reforestation grants — page 2

Funding for afforestation, reforestation, avoided deforestation and forest-carbon projects. The money comes from the World Bank (PROGREEN), bilateral climate finance, the UK and EU, and large nature-focused foundations and corporate buyers. Listed below are the open forestry and reforestation grant calls in that landscape, taken from each funder's own notice and re-checked on every refresh.
This is the most fragmented funding landscape on the site. Money comes from agriculture and environment ministries, the EU Common Agricultural Policy and Horizon Cluster 6, the World Bank and IFAD, and a large conservation philanthropy sector including the Global Environment Facility and the major nature foundations. Cheque sizes span four orders of magnitude, and eligibility frequently turns on land tenure, on partnership with a local organisation, or on both.
This page lists open forestry and reforestation grants currently tracked by Raise Lens — 644 of them right now, sorted with the soonest deadline first. Every listing has been classified against the sustainability taxonomy rather than matched on keywords, so what appears here is forestry and reforestation work rather than anything whose description happens to mention it.
The funders publishing forestry and reforestation grants here include Global Environment Facility, 50143989, 50143860, among 2 others. Who is funding matters as much as what: eligibility, reporting burden and the realistic timeline to a decision vary far more between funders than between individual calls.
Geographic coverage on this page spans EUROPE, SUBSAHARAN-AFRICA, AFRICA, GLOBAL, GLOBAL-SOUTH. Eligibility is usually tied to where the work happens or where the applying organisation is registered, and the two are not always the same — worth checking before investing time in an application.
