Funding Clearinghouse & Capacity Building
To achieve the Collaborative’s vision of thriving health, economic self-sufficiency and community well-being across the Central Coast region, we invest in in building capacity and securing funding for priority, community-driven projects. Through this centralized clearinghouse for climate-related funding opportunities, monthly funding opportunity calls for members and hands-on technical assistance we help Members navigate California’s complex funding landscape, develop competitive applications, and successfully access resources to advance equitable climate solutions. This program is funded by Resources Legacy Fund and collaboratively administered by the Monterey Bay Area Climate Justice Collaborative, Ecology Action and Farallon Strategies, consultant staff for the Central Coast Climate Collaborative (4C).
