Description
1) Objective
The Regenerative Communities Fund (RCF), an initiative by ECOLISE launched in 2024, is announcing its Third Call for Proposals. This call will select 50 Pathfinder Communities from across Croatia, Finland, France, Portugal, and Spain. The RCF is the first fund specifically focused on supporting regenerative communities in Europe. The RCF helps community-led initiatives overcome barriers—like lack of funding, outreach, or technical support—especially in marginalised or underserved communities. Through an ecosystem of National Hubs, Demonstrators, and upcoming Pathfinder communities, RCF aims to build an inclusive movement for eco-social regeneration.
Pathfinder Communities are small-scale, innovative and inclusive CLIs that:
- Work on climate action and local regeneration.
- Operate at a local scale, working closely with their communities.
- Empower communities who experience higher levels of deprivation and systemic exclusion.
- Are excited to learn, exchange, and build capacity together.
2) Eligibility
The grant is open to communities.
3) Location
Actions must take place in Croatia, Finland, France, Portugal, and Spain.
4) Budget
Grants may range up to €4,000.
5) Application
