Description
1) Objective
National Geographic Society is seeking to fund impactful projects driving science-based solutions to the growing threat of extreme weather events and natural hazards such as wildfires, hurricanes, tornados, droughts, floods, heatwaves and severe storms. Projects should aim to increase adaptability and resilience to these events and demonstrate tangible positive impacts on people and nature.
Successful projects will demonstrate sufficient engagement with relevant stakeholders to ensure that project development and implementation are carried out for at-risk human communities and natural systems. Proposals for both new and ongoing projects will be considered. They encourage projects in regions most vulnerable to extreme weather events and natural hazards, as well as regions that currently have limited capacity for research and implementation.
2) Eligibility
This opportunity is best suited for individual project leaders with demonstrable experience leading, designing and implementing science-based solutions to extreme weather events and natural hazards. However, there is no explicit educational or experience requirement – applicants should demonstrate that they have the expertise, skill and passion to successfully complete their project.
3) Location
The National Geographic Society specifically encourages applicants from around the world. However, as a result of changes in Chinese law effective January 1, 2017, the National Geographic Society is unable to support new grantee work in mainland China.
4) Budget
Proposals may request up to $50,000 USD in funding for a two year project.
5) Application
The deadline for submissions is September 19, 2025, at 11:59 PM EDT.
