Resilient Agriculture Innovations for Nature (RAIN) Bridge Fund

GRP, in partnership with Shockwave Foundation and Munich Re Foundation, provided a bridge funding opportunity to support selected RAIN projects sustain and build on their work during 2026. This funding is intended to provide a strategic bridge between the original RAIN award and future pathways for scale, influence, or longer term financing.
