Tipping Point Pacific Grant 2026: €10K Feminist Climate Justice Funding for Youth & Indigenous Groups

The Tipping Point Pacific Grant 2026 is a feminist climate justice funding opportunity supporting youth-led, women-led, disability-inclusive, and gender-diverse grassroots organisations in the Pacific working to address climate change, inequality, and environmental injustice. This opportunity provides up to €10,000 in flexible funding for Indigenous and community-rooted groups that are leading local responses to ecological and social challenges across the region. It is designed to strengthen grassroots initiatives that are often excluded from mainstream funding systems while advancing climate justice, gender equality, and Indigenous sovereignty.

This grant is particularly relevant for emerging collectives, informal networks, and small organisations working in Pacific Island countries and territories who are building solutions grounded in community knowledge, care, and cultural continuity.

About the Program

The Tipping Point Pacific Grant is a decolonial feminist funding initiative grounded in the Pacific concept of Vā, which represents the sacred relationships between people, land, and ocean. The program supports grassroots movements that are defending these relationships in the face of climate, social, and economic injustice.

Implemented with Oxfam Pacific, the grant prioritises youth-led, women-led, disability-inclusive, and gender-diverse initiatives. It focuses on strengthening locally rooted action in areas such as climate justice, Indigenous knowledge systems, anti-extractive resistance, demilitarisation, storytelling, and community healing.

This initiative specifically targets groups that are often excluded from mainstream funding systems, including informal networks and emerging collectives, offering them flexible support to grow their impact.

Why This Opportunity Matters

The Pacific is one of the regions most affected by climate change, facing rising sea levels, environmental degradation, and increasing social vulnerability. At the same time, it is a hub of powerful Indigenous knowledge, cultural resilience, and community-led climate solutions.

Despite their leadership, many grassroots organisations remain underfunded and lack access to global funding systems. The Tipping Point Pacific Grant addresses this gap by shifting resources directly to those leading on the ground.

This funding recognises that climate justice is inseparable from gender justice, Indigenous sovereignty, and community wellbeing. By investing in grassroots leadership, the program strengthens long-term resilience and ensures that solutions are shaped by lived experience rather than external systems.
