The Indiana Climate and Democracy Catalyst Fund aims to empower frontline organizations in Indiana by enhancing their capacity to address climate and democracy challenges.

This strategic collaboration seeks to uplift BIPOC-led, LGBTQ+ serving, and rural organizations, fostering an inclusive environment for all Indiana residents to thrive while advocating for environmental justice.

Overview

The Funding Opportunity The Indiana Climate and Democracy Catalyst Fund consists of local, state, and national funders who are committed to catalyzing movement building at the intersection of climate, democracy, and environmental justice in Indiana. We believe that to create a robust ecosystem ready to take on local challenges, philanthropy should support the capacity and infrastructure building of frontline and place-based organizations so they can focus on community outcomes that help all people thrive. Additionally, we must tell the story of Indiana’s challenges and successes to inspire change and galvanize additional funding for this integral work.
