Partner with Nebraska IPL on Your Project

Nebraska IPL would like to support youth interested in applying for funds towards a climate project.  We are especially looking to support youth groups that might be wanting to complete a project.  We can provide support for those interested in building raingardens, bioretention swales, or other water quality or prairie projects around places of worship.

The Youth Climate Action Fund offers $1,000–$5,000 microgrants for young people ages 15–24 to lead real climate projects right here in our city. Lincoln is one of 300 cities worldwide selected to participate in this exciting initiative, supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies. Projects should address one or more of the following areas: Climate Resilience, Local Food, Waste Reduction, or Transportation. The official call for proposals will open on August 26th and close on October 7th.  

Awarded grant funds will be disbursed Nov. 13, 2026, and projects must be completed by April 15, 2027.

NeIPL would be happy to assist with the application process and/or the coordination and implementation of a project for those groups who are interested.  Members of interested youth groups, or who have further questions about partnering, can reach out to NeIPL Exec Director Cara at [email protected].
