The City of Miami held a virtual information session on August 17, 2026, to introduce the Youth Climate Action Fund, a grant program funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies with $40,000 to support climate-related projects led by youth aged 15 to 24. The session detailed the application process for microgrants up to $5,000, project eligibility requirements including location within the city, climate focus areas (flooding, extreme heat, waste reduction), and the project timeline ending March 31, 2027. City officials and partner organizations explained budget guidelines, allowable expenses, and the necessity of having a project sponsor organization to manage funds and provide mentorship. The meeting also featured Q&A and introductions from community groups offering support to applicants. This session was primarily focused on encouraging youth-led climate initiatives with clear procurement and funding parameters for project execution.
