Description
1) Objective
Patagonia Inc. is an American clothing company founded in 1973 that sells and showcases mainly sustainable outdoor clothing. The Patagonia Environmental Grants Programme surges from the company’s commitment to use 1% of their total sales or 10% of their profit, whichever is more, to environmental concerns. Patagonia supports environmental organizations with bold, direct-action agendas and a commitment to long-term change.
They support innovative work that addresses the root causes of the environmental crisis and seeks to protect both the environment and affected communities. They focus on places where we’ve built connections through outdoor recreation and through our network of retail stores, nationally and internationally. They encourage work that brings underrepresented communities to the forefront of the environmental movement and defend communities whose health and livelihoods are threatened by environmental exploitation. They support multipronged campaigns that push for greater environmental protections and force the government to abide by its own laws.
2) Eligibility
Their funding focuses on organizations that have or can create a strong base of support.
3) Location
They fund projects in Europe (Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom).
4) Budget
They accept one proposal per group in a given fiscal year (May 1–April 30). The typical grant size ranges between $5,000 and $15,000 Proposals are reviewed and grants decisions are made by an employee grants council in Europe.
5) Application
There are three annual deadlines for this process: May 31st (all applications received in May will receive a response by the end of August); September 30th (all applications received in September will receive a response by the end of December); January 31st (all applications received in January will receive a response by the end of May).

If your work is eligible, you will then be directed to the grant application form.
