Opportunity Summary Patagonia funds only environmental work. Patagonia is most interested in making grants to organizations that identify and work on the root causes of problems and that approach issues with a commitment to long-term change. Because they believe that the most direct path to real change is through building grassroots momentum, their funding focuses on organizations that create a strong base of citizen support. They support small, grassroots, activist organizations with provocative direct-action agendas, working on multipronged campaigns to preserve and protect our environment. Patagonia helps local groups working to protect local habitat, and think the individual battles to protect a specific stand of forest, stretch of river or indigenous wild species are the most effective in raising more complicated issues—particularly those of biodiversity and ecosystem protection—in the public mind. They look for innovative groups that produce measurable results, and like to support efforts that force the government to abide by its own—our own— laws. Your efforts should be quantifiable, with specific goals, objectives and action plans, and should include measures for evaluating success.
