Garden Grants: Funding to grow climate biotech
Garden Grants: Funding to grow climate biotech
In October 2023, Homeworld launched a first-of-kind grantmaking program to fund ambitious climate efforts. In 2024, we provided a total of $1.35M to 16 teams to support early-stage projects at the translational intersection of protein engineering and sustainability, with solutions spanning plastic degradation, biomanufacturing, carbon dioxide removal and more.
Our next grants program focused on greenhouse gas removal will launch in January 2025. Keep an eye on our greenhouse gas removal grants page and on our LinkedIn to stay updated on Garden Grants and other opportunities from Homeworld Collective.
Beyond fast funding, Garden Grants facilitates learning and collaboration by offering a cohort program for the funded projects. This program includes structured meetings, mentorship tailored to each project, and opportunities for connection and collaboration with other grantees.
Key events in the program include a kickoff meeting, 6-month check-in, and 12-month Demo Day, with optional additional networking opportunities.

A garden is a safe place for plants to grow and cross-pollinate. We intend for the Garden Grants to become a safe place for ideas to grow and cross-pollinate.
