Global Greengrants Fund is a philanthropic organization that supports environmental and social justice initiatives through a global network of frontline communities and donors. It emphasizes that local communities should have a say in the health of food, water, and natural resources, arguing that they are key agents of change. The organization channels resources to communities most affected by environmental harm and injustice, promoting alternatives that protect livelihoods and ecosystems. Headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, it operates within the philanthropic fundraising services sector and works with grantees around the world. Its impact spans Chile, Peru, Mongolia, Uganda, and Ecuador, including efforts to create marine protected areas, halt megadams, pass forest protection laws, and ban plastic bags, as well as restoration of reefs, mangroves, and forests and advances in indigenous rights such as consent requirements. In 2020, Laura García was named president and CEO, marking a leadership transition.
