The Tipping Point Pacific Grant by Oxfam Pacific supports initiatives that address climate change impacts in Pacific Island countries, with a focus on locally led solutions and community resilience. The fund aims to amplify responses to the climate crisis that are rooted in the lived realities of Pacific communities.

The grant supports Indigenous and community rooted youth-led, women-led disability-inclusive and gender-diverse initiatives addressing feminist climate and structural injustice in the Pacific. The grant centers care, justice, autonomy, and collective wellbeing, recognising that communities most affected by the climate crisis experience displacement, violence, economic marginalisation, and for many, oppressive colonial legacies.
