Overview
This grant supports the Climate Leadership Initiative, a fiscally sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. The initiative was founded to fully realize the role that philanthropy can play in solving the climate crisis, as less than 2% of total global philanthropy currently supports climate mitigation efforts. It was envisioned to help fill the enormous funding gap, with the hypothesis that proactive development would bring new philanthropists to climate, at scale, when coupled with the support they need. The initiative was formally launched in 2019 to catalyze philanthropy at this crucial moment, accelerating the transitions we need to ensure a healthy and equitable world.
