Environmental Defenders
Who can apply: Environmental defenders and frontline communities working to investigate, expose and redress environmental abuses and associated human rights violations.
Environmental Justice Foundation’s Spain delegation supports ocean protection, environmental human rights, and the journalists and community groups exposing abuses in fisheries and coastal supply chains. Its funding is highly targeted and usually paired with training, mentoring, and practical support rather than open, general-purpose grants. The organization appears especially interested in frontline communities, investigative reporters, and a small number of high-potential local ocean conservation organizations working in West Africa, Southeast Asia, and Indonesia.
Mostly invite-only, small targeted grants and fellowships, often combined with mentoring, training, and equipment or material support; cohort-based support for a limited number of organizations or journalists rather than broad open grantmaking.

This is largely invite-only, so unsolicited applications are unlikely to be competitive. Groups and journalists aligned with ocean justice, illegal fishing investigations, or coastal community protection should build relationships with EJF staff and demonstrate strong field access, local credibility, and a clear plan for how modest funding and mentoring will advance a specific investigation or community action.
