Grant Description

CASA will channel small grants to grassroots groups and nongovernmental organizations throughout Brazil for social development and environmental conservation. The IAF will finance 30 projects and CASA will raise $1.6 million to fund the remaining 320 projects.

This is expected to increase the engagement of Brazilians in the challenges directly affecting them and to improve environmental programming and policy-making.
