Chapter Zero Alliance
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The work fits best if the project is led by one of the Chapters in the Alliance's global network and aims to strengthen climate and nature governance in boardrooms, for example through regional networks, board summits, research, online courses or new approaches to governance.
- The annual report names Africa and Europe as priority areas, which signals where the Alliance wants to focus rather than who may apply.
- No application process is published, so a short enquiry through the contact shown is a sensible first step before writing a full request.
- The grant range is not stated, so size any request to the project's own costs and check the amount with the Alliance first.
- Organisations with no link to a Chapter should confirm how their work relates to the network before applying, because its sub-grants go to Chapter-led projects.
