ClimateWorks Foundation

ClimateWorks is a global platform for philanthropy to innovate and scale high-impact climate solutions that benefit people and the planet. We deliver global programs and services that equip philanthropy with the knowledge, networks, and solutions to drive climate progress for a more sustainable and equitable future. Since 2008, ClimateWorks has granted over $1.8 billion to more than 850 grantees in over 50 countries.

We drive innovation and climate solutions that scale.
Through our portfolio of global and transnational climate mitigation strategies and grantmaking, we help funders maximize their philanthropic impact.

With expertise in climate science, strategic philanthropy, public policy, and social and economic development, our team has the breadth of skills and experience needed to assess the science, identify the mitigation opportunities, and strategize the philanthropic initiatives needed to tackle the climate crisis.

In addition to our program leadership, we also provide funders with expertise to help design and implement grantmaking strategies that drive climate progress. By harnessing our global networks and philanthropic infrastructure, we also help funders and other partners in the climate philanthropy ecosystem to connect, share knowledge, and advance solutions together.

Over the past decade, ClimateWorks has built a world-class grantmaking infrastructure that has enabled us to make more than $1.3 billion in grants to over 600 grantees in more than 50 countries around the world. Our programmatic expertise enables us to make strategic investments across a wide range of sectoral and geographic climate change mitigation opportunities using a diverse set of philanthropic intervention strategies.

From the U.S. to Europe, China, Brazil, and beyond, we are proud to collaborate with a wide range of partners across funders, NGOs, and climate leaders to accelerate climate action around the globe.

ClimateWorks Foundation is committed to supporting climate solutions that are equitable, inclusive, and just.
