Vision

MFMC supports diverse voices that engage citizens, policy makers and businesses to accelerate the transformation to a low carbon society.

We support

Climate change is increasingly recognized as a major challenge and has become well established as an important policy area. Despite this, we have yet to see action that matches the magnitude of the problem. A pressing task for climate change communication is therefore to foster a better understanding of the scale of necessary changes and the urgency with which they must be achieved. MFMC will prioritise projects that raise to this challenge and intends to radically scale up its funding to this end.

The Minor foundation supports communication projects that

aim to reduce GHG emissions in line with the urgent transformation required

lead to policy or behavioural change among decisionmakers or lead to

changes in policies or practices in public or private institutions

increase the public’s support for climate policy measures

are otherwise difficult to fund

Priorities 2019–2023

Encourage and support innovation in climate communication

Increase the number of voices and narratives in climate advocacy

Help strengthen social and political movements that open up for radical change

Concentrate on supporting European proposals

Support schemes

The Minor foundation has a two-stage application process where organisations are welcome to pitch their ideas. The board invites those with the best ideas to submit full applications. The Minor foundation can co-create projects with partners.

The Minor foundation supports projects ranging from €20,000 to €200,000, but will consider applications up to €1,000,000.

The Minor foundation has a separate support scheme for small grants up to €10,000. Applications for these grants are one-stage and have simplified reporting procedures.
