Applications open for Medium-Size Grants

Donor Name: Global EbA Fund

The Medium-Size Grants supports organisations advancing innovative and scalable ecosystem-based adaptation solutions in ODA-eligible countries.

The Global EbA Fund was established to create enabling environments for the implementation and scaling of Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) to enhance the resilience of vulnerable communities and ecosystems facing climate change impacts. The Fund has supported a diverse portfolio of projects across multiple continents, addressing barriers such as financial, governance, knowledge, and awareness gaps in a wide range of ecosystems and socio-economic contexts.

This call for proposals seeks collaborative and innovative approaches that address systemic barriers to scaling EbA, with a focus on generating practical implementation evidence and fostering institutional change. Proposals may address one of three priority themes: innovative finance solutions for EbA, EbA for human development and security, or operational synergies across climate, biodiversity, land, and disaster risk reduction frameworks. The Fund encourages projects that pilot transferable adaptation models, leverage public and private capital, and strengthen enabling environments by embedding EbA into national frameworks and policies.

Each medium-size grant provides up to USD 500,000 for projects lasting up to 24 months. The Fund prioritizes initiatives that demonstrate catalytic potential, support investment readiness, and promote knowledge exchange and capacity building among partners. At least 25% of the budget for country-level projects must be allocated to local partners, and consortia are encouraged to foster shared decision-making and long-term institutional strengthening.

Eligible applicants include NGOs, INGOs, CBOs, Indigenous People’s Organisations, universities, research institutes, think tanks, and private sector companies working on climate change adaptation. Projects must target ODA-eligible countries, and regional or multi-country projects are welcome if all countries involved are ODA-eligible. Government entities may participate as partners but cannot receive direct funding.
