Partners for Places, hosted by The Funders Network, aims to enhance local capacity to build equitable and sustainable communities in the United States and Canada. The program provides support to advance collaborative partnerships between a local government sustainability or water department, frontline community partner, and place-based funder, and to support the planning and implementation of urban sustainability and green stormwater infrastructure projects. For this round of funding, two-year grants ranging from $75,000 to $180,000 are available to create or improve the collaborative partnerships and to plan or implement an equitable climate action or green stormwater infrastructure project that addresses frontline community priorities. (One-year grants of $45,000 to $150,000 are only available to partnerships that have previously received a Partners for Places mini grant.) One or more local foundations are required to provide at least a 50% matching grant.
