Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of initiatives does the CARE Collective Fund support?

The fund supports a wide array of initiatives focused on ocean health, reducing plastic pollution, and broader climate action. This includes grassroots projects, social enterprises, activist campaigns, and research efforts that demonstrate a clear commitment to creating positive environmental impact globally.

Is the €10,000 grant equity-free and non-repayable?

Yes, absolutely. The CARE Collective Fund provides a pure grant of €10,000, which is non-repayable and requires no equity stake from your organization or project. This ensures that beneficiaries retain full ownership and control over their impactful work.

What are the geographic priorities for this fund?

While the fund is global, GOT BAG prioritizes initiatives operating in the Global South, Southeast Asia, and coastal regions of Africa. Applicants from other regions with strong alignment to the fund's mission are also considered, but those in priority geographies may have an advantage.

Can individual activists or research projects apply, or only registered organizations?

The fund is explicitly open to a broad range of applicants, including individual activists, research projects, social enterprises, NGOs, foundations, and grassroots groups. The low-barrier approach aims to be inclusive of diverse change-makers regardless of their formal organizational structure.

What is the timeline for fund disbursement and utilization?

Funds are typically disbursed around August 2026. Once received, the approved applicants are expected to utilize the €10,000 grant within a 12-month period. This allows for focused project execution and impact generation within a defined timeframe.

Beyond funding, what other support does the CARE Collective Fund offer?

In addition to financial aid, the fund aims to connect beneficiaries with GOT BAG's expanding global network of partners. This provides opportunities for mentorship, collaborative projects, knowledge exchange, and increased visibility, helping to amplify the impact of supported initiatives.
