Patagonia Announces Guidelines for Environmental Grants Program
Deadline: August 31, 2007

Patagonia (<a href="http://www.patagonia.com/">http://www.patagonia.com/</a>), an outdoor clothing and gear company, provides support for environmental work through grants to nonprofit organizations. The company supports small, grassroots organizations with provocative direct-action agendas and multi-pronged campaigns designed to preserve and protect the environment.

Patagonia funds environmental work that is action-oriented, builds public involvement and support, is strategic, focuses on root causes, accomplishes specific goals and objectives, and takes place in countries in which Patagonia does business (i.e., the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, Ireland, Austria, Spain, Scandinavia, Belgium, Korea, Japan, Chile, and Argentina).

Please note: Organizations based in a community that has a Patagonia retail store or an international office should submit their request to the store or office. Each store administers its own grants program.

Applicants must have nonprofit 501(c)(3) status or a tax-exempt fiscal sponsor.

Most grants range between $3,000 and $8,000 each.

The company accepts proposals during August. Proposals must be postmarked no later than August 31.
