Radical Action Grants are funded entirely by donations. If you are able to donate towards environmental and climate work in Aotearoa New Zealand, supporting Radical Action Grants is a great way to make your dollars count.

• Want to support groups fighting fossil fuel exploration?
• Short on time but want to support grassroots climate activism?

Accountability

• All of the money you donate to Radical Action Grants goes into the grant pool. Radical Action Grants members have undertaken to personally fund any operating costs (such as getting the word out there about RAG).
• We ask applicant groups to provide referees so we can check it’s a valid application, and to help the panel assess distribution of funding.
• We post a list of successful applicants on our website after each funding round. We will also announce this on our Facebook page.
• Groups that receive funding are required to provide a written report within six months after receiving the funding, so we can hear how their projects went.
• Radical Action Grants Incorporated is a non-profit incorporated society and its financial report is posted to the Incorporated Societies website annually.
