About Mosaic
Mosaic is a national funder and field catalyst that boosts the collective power of climate, conservation, and environmental health and justice movements in the United States to achieve durable, population-scale wins. A participatory grantmaker governed by a Leadership Council of grassroots, nonprofit, and philanthropy movement leaders, Mosaic supports the connectivity and shared tools — also known as movement infrastructure — advocates and activists need to build and exercise power across demographics, geographies, and issue silos.
Since 2020, Mosaic has made grants totaling $26M through 357 grants, inclusive of 660 collaborating partners, who collectively reach nearly 20 percent of the environmental movement’s 30,000 organizations. Among other things, these grants are building connectivity and leverage across the movement by supporting dozens of networks; enhancing advocacy by expanding access to upskilling and leadership development; providing new digital tools, narratives, and communication hubs; and boosting power by supporting strategic voices newer to the movement. The vast majority of the projects we fund work across issues, silos, and communities. For more information about Mosaic, please see our website. Mosaic is a fiscally sponsored project of the Tides Center.
Mosaic's 2025 Grantmaking
Mosaic is excited to announce our 2025 open grant cycle! We are now accepting concept notes for movement building hubs — collaborative projects designed to fill critical movement infrastructure gaps (as described in the Mosaic Strategic Framework) within US based climate, conservation, environmental health and justice movements — with a focus on those aimed at building bridges across differences.
As we enter into a new federal administration, networks, organizations, and leaders are aligning around effective offensive and defensive strategies to protect gains and continue making progress at the state and local level while expanding and strengthening their long-term power base. Over the last several months, Mosaic’s Leadership Council and staff have been assessing the most urgent field needs through conversations with movement leaders, grantees, and philanthropic partners, and reviewing data from surveys and field research. This analysis highlighted the need for movement infrastructure to build bridges that create more powerful coalitions, strengthen narrative capacity to build influence, break down silos, and more directly enroll the movement in defending democracy. Mosaic’s 2025 grant cycle will expand on our previous grantmaking to support this critical work.
