Moments to Movements

Where Have All the Grants Gone?

Peace First

In a funding landscape where resources are shrinking and competition is rising, how do young changemakers keep going?

In this candid conversation, our guest, Eunice Adewusi (Climiradi), shares their journey of navigating the highs and lows of building youth-led movements with and without grants. Together, we explore the realities behind the global shift in funding, the creative strategies young people are using to survive and thrive, and the power of relationships over resources.

With moments of humor, resilience, and real talk, this episode offers not only encouragement for young leaders but also a call to funders to rethink how they support emerging changemakers.

Whether you’re building your first project or trying to stay afloat in a tough environment, this conversation reminds us that while grants can help, they are not the only path to impact.
