The overlooked treasure to fund your nature venture
1 Biodiversity Action in 1 Minute
In German, we have a saying, "Ohne Moss nichts los." This means that without money, it will be hard to reach your goals.
As a nature nerd, I obviously pretend they mean moss instead of money. So without nature we won't get far.
But nature work like yours needs to be financed.
So, how do you get bucks for bugs?
I speak with 100s of ecopreneurs a year, and an often overlooked treasure is...
🥁 Newsletters.
The lovely part is that those funding opportunities come right to your mailbox. Without lifting your finger.
These are my 7 favorites to find nature funding:
🏴☠️ Bonus: If you want to be an even more dedicated treasure hunter, check out the featured start-ups & NGOs. Visit their website and decode what other form of financing they got. Or simply reach out to them. People are much more collaborative than you think.
Downside. Not all of them are 100% focused on nature.
So, if you want to avoid full emails yet still get all funding opportunities for your nature venture, join us on our Action Community.
Whenever I find a treasure, I share it in our "help & be helped channel" as well as add it to our nature funding database. By now its packed with 248 impact Vcs, grants, competitions & co.
As promised 1 biodiversity action in 1 minute.
Have a wild weekend!
Best,
Oli
