Grants of $5,000–$50,000 for community-led climate projects in East Austin.
The Austin Community Climate Program (ACCP) combats climate change and strengthens climate resilience by connecting people, climate and community through restoration, education and innovation.
It supports local nonprofits and organisations implementing projects that restore native ecosystems and strengthen the ecological health of East Austin’s parks, trails and green spaces; build climate literacy and community engagement; and advance research, data and innovative approaches that reduce climate risk.
The ACCP is powered by the 2% for 2 Degrees pledge — a commitment to channel 2% of room and restaurant revenue from The Loren Hotel Austin into climate action.
It is the Austin chapter of a partnership that has already funded reforestation and community climate work in Bermuda.
Native ecosystems, healthier parks, trails and green spaces, and habitat for pollinators, wildlife and native vegetation.
Climate literacy, environmental education, hands-on programming and volunteer stewardship across all ages and backgrounds.
Research, data collection and new approaches tested in real community settings, with the potential to scale.
Submitting an Expression of Interest takes only a few minutes. Projects that meet the requirements and objectives of the ACCP will be invited to submit a full proposal.
