The Minor Foundation for Major Challenges (MFMC) is a Norwegian foundation that supports communication projects which advance the transition to a low carbon economy.

The Foundation supports advocates of climate change mitigation. The calls for applications are open to international applicants.

MFMC supports projects that support urgent, large-scale transformation, with a focus on changing policies and practices in public or private institutions. The foundation’s priorities for the 2019-2023 period are to:

• encourage and support innovation in climate communication
• increase the number of voices and narratives in climate advocacy
• help strengthen social and political movements that open up for radical change
• concentrate on supporting European proposals

The Minor foundation supports communication projects that:

• aim to reduce GHG emissions in line with the urgent transformation required
• lead to policy or behavioural change among decisionmakers or lead to changes in policies or practices in public or private institutions
• increase the public’s support for climate policy measures
• are otherwise difficult to fund
