For Potential Grantees
What is the mission of the CLARIFI Initiative?
CLARIFI aims to contribute to raising US$10 billion by 2030 and strategically deploying public and private funds to scale up the formal recognition of Indigenous Peoples’, Afro-descendant Peoples’, and local communities’ land rights, conservation, and sustainable management of their territories.
How can my community apply for a CLARIFI grant?
Announcements of grant opportunities will be posted on this website. CLARIFI grants are available to RRI coalition members and the broader IP and LC network, as well as the Campaign for Nature network. Your project should align with thematic priorities, demonstrate local ownership, scalability, and potential impact. Stay tuned for announcements on grant opportunities.
What types of projects does CLARIFI fund?
CLARIFI supports projects that enhance tenure security, advocacy and legal support; conservation and resource management; organizational capacity; environmental/human rights defenders; Indigenous/local economies, and gender justice. Projects should align with one or more of these thematic priority areas and contribute to long-term impact.
For Potential Partners

Is geographic location a factor for partnership eligibility?
