The Loss and Damage Youth Grantmaking Council (LDYGC), in collaboration with the Climate Justice Resilience Fund (CJRF) & Open Society Foundations, has opened call for application for its new $275,000 grant cycle aimed at concrete actions to address the impact of climate change in vulnerable communities. By concrete action, we mean tangible measures taken to tackle loss and damage in vulnerable communities within the areas of focus outlined in the section below. Thus, this grant cycle excludes any application with a central focus on capacity building and awareness campaigns unless it’s a highly important component, without which the project fails to achieve its initial goal.
Eligibility: Applications should cover the criteria below: The lead applicant must be 35 or below and must have or lead a youth organization or grassroots organization applying operating locally or nationally especially those located in the most affected areas, vulnerable communities, marginalized groups, or any other that is not mentioned. The application should fall into “action to address L&D” from the above themes and must be submitted before the deadline through the google form. The project proposal can be submitted in English, French, or Spanish. We advise applicants submitting in French or Spanish to attach a translation of their project proposal in English if possible. The project proposal must not be more than three pages and complete. Incomplete proposals will not be considered. The submitted project must fall within the grant’s scope, which is to fund ‘concrete actions to address loss and damage,’ excluding capacity building and awareness campaigns.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is soliciting investigator-initiated research to support evaluation of innovative programs, practices, or policies to address risk for violence and inequities in risk for violence among groups experiencing a high burden of community violence. This effectiveness research will help expand and advance understanding of approaches to prevent community violence and to eliminate racial and ethnic inequities in risk for community violence. Innovative approaches are those that have not been rigorously evaluated for effectiveness in reducing community violence. Consistent with CDC’s commitment to achieving health equity, investigation of inequities in exposure to and uptake of the selected approaches, and/or stratified analyses examining the differential impacts of the approach across populations disproportionately impacted by violence is a priority. Funds are available to conduct studies focused on preventing all forms of community violence involving youth or young adults (ages 10-34 years), including assaults, homicides, violence between groups, and threats/use of weapons.
Eligibility: Funding will help support the evaluation of primary prevention strategies, programs, or policies that target universal or selected high-risk populations (i.e., populations that have one or more risk factors that place them at heightened risk for perpetration of violence).
