This month we launched our new and improved Environmental Dispute Resolution Fund (EDRF). As many of you know, this past year we have taken time to evaluate and reflect. At the end of the day we decided to focus our funding on a niche only we can fill—community-led cases—selecting for, and investing in, groups that are able to build a base of support, leverage legal work to achieve a clear environmental objective, and run a campaign that includes fundraising in their community and beyond (Read more).  We’re moving to a new two-stage funding process and the review of applications on a quarterly basis. For more information, visit the EDRF section of our website.
