The National Geographic Society is accepting applications for Level I and Level II grants for the $100,000 Spatial Thinking: Inspiring Action with Place-Based Solutions.
.
This funding opportunity supports projects that identify a challenge related to a specific place and its unique conditions and leverages an educational solution using spatial thinking to enable people to act on behalf of the planet and its people.
.
Spatial thinking is a powerful tool for understanding and telling stories of the past and present of a place and its inhabitants. It can help to understand a place’s unique conditions, how people and the planet relate to those conditions, and create and implement solutions needed to address challenges of a place.
