American Jewish World Service
While not strictly focused on 'regenerative agriculture,' AJWS focuses on land and water rights, and environmental justice. They help those who are most affected by climate change, mining, pollution, and government corruption. AJWS has studied social movements and has developed a tool for funders. They look to promote human rights, and women's rights in everything they fund. If they hear about your work through their trusted partners or previous grantees, you are probably more likely to get their attention.

FOR GRANTMAKERS
AJWS Funds Mangroves - a Regenerative Solution to Climate Change With Many Co-Benefits
Not only do mangroves sequester carbon, but they also make coastal communities resilient to storm surges. When done right, mangrove restoration projects can create sustainable jobs and spur economic development. If you’d like to learn more about mangroves and how to fund the right projects, get in touch.
In El Salvador, local rural communities depend on the mangroves and the creatures that thrive in them for food and their livelihood. La Unidad Ecológica Salvadoreña (UNES)—an organization supported by AJWS—is protecting endangered mangrove forests in Ahuachapán Department.

Neesha’s Notes
If you are a grassroots organization working on advocacy for land rights, environmental or climate justice in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean, you are more likely to get funded by the American Jewish World Service. Though they don't have a formal grant application process, they do provide an email address and phone number on their website. My advice would be to get their attention first with the work you are doing on the ground, and then approach them for funding.
