OUR GRANTMAKING
Since 2020, Mosaic Environmental Fund has made grants totaling $32M through 418 grants, inclusive of 800 collaborating partners, who collectively reach over a quarter of the environmental movement’s 30,000 organizations. Their work is helping groups access and share resources, align agendas, and build powerful coalitions to influence local, state, and national policy.

Our strategy
Mosaic’s grantmaking supports four types of movement infrastructure leaders have identified as critical for success: narrative, connection and trust, leadership, and advocacy tools and training. Strengthening these core pillars is expanding groups’ capacity to achieve near-term wins across a range of environmental issues that in turn reinforce the power of collective action and build toward a bigger, more inclusive and influential movement capable of delivering systemic change.

Narrative: Develop and deploy shared narratives rooted in people’s lived experiences that shift hearts and minds, instill agency, and inspire action.
Leadership: Grow a diverse and representative pipeline of leaders who can shape, co-design, engage on and lead local, regional and national strategies to achieve movement-level goals.
Connection & Trust: Foster strong, collaborative relationships between key environmental actors to develop aligned and strategic approaches while bridging to new constituencies that can further expand the movement, often through coalitions and networks.
Advocacy Tools & Training: Equip organizations and people with the open-source tools and information required to empower and mobilize constituencies towards population-scale action.
Our grants are collaborative in nature, supporting projects that bring together multiple organizations to build shared infrastructure, and bridge across issue and organizational silos to connect and uplift climate, conservation, and environmental health and justice fights.

We seek collaborative movement infrastructure proposals from across the country through national, open grantmaking processes focused on near-term opportunities that contribute to long-term power. Mosaic’s annual grantmaking strategy is informed by the expertise of our Leadership Council as well as an annual landscaping analysis with our community of advocates, organizers, academics, and funders.
