Joan Feynman Climate Change Fund 2022-23

For Immediate Release: Dec 2, 2022

Nova Scotia’s rural communities are directly affected by climate change through such factors as sea level rise, storms, weather, disease and species shift, all of which can cause major economic impact. As such, our communities are on the front-lines of Nova Scotia’s efforts to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change and they have a vital role in finding solutions to this enormously difficult and complex issue.

This fund was created in 2019 with a private donor grant in order to ignite creativity, innovation and change through community projects on climate change. During the next 3-5 years RCFNS plans to greatly increase our Feynman Fund granting and to coordinate with other sectors to leverage progress on climate change throughout the province.

Rural Communities Foundation of Nova Scotia (RCFNS) is excited to bring more support for community projects on climate change through the Joan Feynman Climate Change Fund. RCFNS is accepting applications until February 17, 2023. Interested applicants may apply via RCFNS website at the following:
