Media Launch Press Conference

SUMMARY

The Virgin Islands Climate Change Trust Fund (VICCTF) has opened its first-ever Call for Proposals (CFP-01), inviting community groups, civil society organisations, and registered partners across the territory to apply for climate resilience funding from 3 September 2026. Two funding pathways are available: the Community Resilience Grant for organisations ready to put adaptation projects into action, and the Capacity-Building Grant for those needing support to strengthen their operations first. Ahead of applying, groups are encouraged to register as a Partner through the Trust's Partnership Registration & Tier Rating system, which helps identify the best-fit funding option based on current capacity.
