The Office of Corporate and Foundations Relations is pleased to share two open call for funding from the National Geographic Foundation. Click on the titles for details.
- Equity and the Natural World
Funding: $5000 to $70,000 / one year
Deadline: October 21, 2020
Disciplines: journalism, photography, data analysis, social media influencers, content creation
Overview: Tropical rainforests cover about two percent of Earth’s total surface area, but they provide habitat for half of terrestrial plants and animals on earth. Today is a time of great challenge and great opportunity in the rainforests of the Amazon River basin, the Congo River basin, and the Indonesian and Malaysian archipelagos. We need journalists, photographers, filmmakers, cartographers, data visualizers, and socially-connected storytellers who can show us what we might lose if these biomes are not protected and highlight potential solutions that have the power to create real, sustainable improvements.
