Patagonia Grassroots Collaborative Program

Led by advisory councils made up of Patagonia employees and external experts, the Grassroots Collaborative Program awards $30,000 two-year grants to over 100 environmental organizations across the US. The goal of the program is to strengthen frontline communities driving change across the US. Our Grassroots Collaborative Program is a pillar of Patagonia’s one percent of sales grantmaking ecosystem, complementing the Retail Partnerships Program and the Environmental Catalyst Program. Together, these three grantmaking programs support a suite of frontline and community-led nonprofits advancing Patagonia’s environmental priorities, built in partnerships and rooted in trust. The Grassroots Collaborative Program operates through five councils, each centered around one of Patagonia’s environmental priorities: Healthy Lands, Healthy Waters, Agricultural Transformation, Climate Solutions and Thriving Communities. Each council awards 20 to 30 two-year grants.
