Protect-an-Acre (PAA) Fund Grant

From Rainforest Action Network

The Climate Action Fund (CAF) aims to empower frontline communities to combat climate change by keeping fossil fuels in the ground, thus providing a grassroots alternative to carbon offset programs. These communities, often volunteer-based and resource-scarce, face significant health, social, and environmental challenges due to their proximity to fossil fuel extraction sites and large greenhouse gas emitters.

Type of Support

Overview

The Protect-an-Acre (PAA) grant program supports initiatives aimed at forest protection and the empowerment of local communities and Indigenous peoples connected to those forests. The program prefers projects that focus on grassroots organizing, education, training, and capacity building. It supports community-driven, non-violent direct actions against destructive developments, aids Indigenous communities in securing legal land titles, and encourages sustainable economic initiatives. Additionally, it backs efforts that amplify community voices in decision-making forums, promote accountability of companies for their environmental impact, and provides seed money for emerging grassroots organizations.
