This year, Mosaic will distribute funding to build local to national movement infrastructure that enhances diverse and collaborative engagement on four major policies and efforts intersecting with the environmental and justice communities - the Inflation Reduction Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Justice40, and 30x30. The goal is to move resources quickly to maximize the climate, environmental, and community benefits now possible, and ensure no community bears disproportionate burdens as this effort unfolds.

Successful applications will address all three focus areas outlined below:

1. Key policies: advancing climate, conservation & justice in a critical window of time. There are four recently enacted policies and initiatives that provide opportunities to make significant gains on climate, conservation, and justice issues, but progress will depend on effective advocacy. Funding this year will support projects that focus on propelling the benefits of these four policy goals, while also countering new threats and mitigating harms.
2. Movement infrastructure: building the connections & shared tools to implement. Movement infrastructure - shared, field-wide tools and connections - will be essential to ensure the environmental community is connected and equipped with the tools and resources to effectively implement these policies and build a durable movement for the future. Funding this year will support projects that are collaborative by design, engage and benefit multiple stakeholders, and create shared tools that advance one or more of the four policy priorities by strengthening the following specific types of movement infrastructure identified by Mosaic's Governance Assembly.
3. Bridging and bonding: activating diverse & aligned field engagement. Mosaic will fund projects that (1) strengthen bonds amongst existing, aligned groups that share a core focus or (2) create or advance connective bridges that build greater power through mutually beneficial, authentic collaborations between organizations where trust, affinity, or shared focus may be lacking. Mosaic is also interested in supporting engagement by constituencies new or newer to environmental and justice advocacy.

Grant Types:

• Seed: Piloting new and innovative movement infrastructure projects with startup funding to strengthen the implementation of the four policy initiatives.
• Cultivate: Supporting and cultivating the capacity of existing collaborative movement infrastructure efforts to sustain their work or achieve a new level of scale and impact in the implementation of the four policy initiatives. 
• Harvest: Actualizing existing movement infrastructure that is advancing one or more of the policy initiatives near a specific tipping point (big win, victory, outcome, etc.) with targeted last mile resources. 

• Others (see text field entitled "Additional Eligibility Criteria" for clarification)
