GRANTMAKING
Our grants support collaborative infrastructure and shared resources essential to bridging divides and winning the big environmental victories needed in this critical decade and beyond.
Our strategy
Over the next three years, Mosaic will focus on addressing critical gaps in movement infrastructure so the environmental field can achieve its most urgent near-term priorities, both offensive and defensive, while building power to achieve large-scale progress by 2035.
Recognizing that progress is increasingly being driven at the state level, our investments will focus on seeding, strengthening, and resourcing state-level coordinating infrastructure — cross-sector coalitions, networks, tables, and base building operations that bridge to new constituencies and facilitate coordinated action. We will also support the linkages to local, regional, and national efforts needed gain, replicate, and scale wins. Investments will include:
Narrative: Innovative models of narrative collaboration and online/offline skills and tools.
Leadership: Skill-building & resources for diverse leaders to lead effective advocacy organizations, coalitions, and networks.
Connection & Trust: Seeding, deepening, and expanding cross-sector relationships and collaboration within key states & across geographies.
Advocacy Tools & Training: Data platforms, advocacy tools, and training resources to amplify coalition work.
Our issues
Mosaic will focus our efforts in five intersecting areas where coordinated movement infrastructure is urgently needed. These include:
- Maintaining & restoring clean air and water standards and systems
- Protecting public lands and waters/healthy ecosystems
- Driving clean energy adoption
- Halting new fossil fuel infrastructure
- Strengthening climate-resilient, healthy communities
Our process
Mosaic conducts annual grantmaking cycles that include a mix of renewals, open calls, and selective grantmaking. Each year’s focus is determined by our Leadership Council based on the most urgent needs in the field in alignment with our grantmaking strategy. Grant opportunities are typically announced in early spring, with grant decisions in summer. We do not accept solicitations outside of this process.

Update: Mosaic will not be holding an open grant cycle in 2026
Mapping the landscape
Mosaic’s grantmaking is informed by insights from our open grant opportunities as well as insights from grantees, funders, and other leaders across the field. We share our annual landscape analysis with the field to elevate movement gaps and opportunities and drive funding where it’s needed most.
