Small Grants 2025

The IKI Small Grants funding program supports local actors worldwide, such as non-governmental organisations, in implementing effective climate and biodiversity action projects. Since the program’s inception in 2019, over 200 organisations have been selected for funding in two different funding lines. With their projects, they have been able to support more than 20,000 people in the practical implementation of climate and biodiversity action measures.

For example, they have already protected or converted around 7,000 hectares of land into sustainable use, which is equivalent to about 10,000 soccer fields. Additionally, the organisations have also been able to strengthen their institutional capacities with the help of the programme.
