Global Forest Watch (GFW), a new dynamic online forest monitoring and
alert system, has pledged $375,000 for grant-making in 2014 to fund
innovative, on-the-ground use of the GFW platform. The Small Grants
Fund, which offers grants ranging from 10,000 – 40,000 USD, funds civil
society organizations to use GFW to improve forest management and rural
livelihoods.
The purpose of the Small Grants Fund is to promote innovative, tangible
uses of GFW around the world. GFW is a global tool, but it has immense
potential for on-the-ground implementation with the goal of improving
forest management through increased access to quality and timely
information on the state of forests. We are seeking applications to help
meet our goal.
The GFW Small Grants Fund was created in collaboration with The Access
Initiative, the largest network in the world dedicated to ensuring that
citizens have the right and ability to influence decisions about the
natural resources that sustain their communities.
