Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
The Windward Fund seeks to build a more impactful environmental movement by connecting people across diverse geographies, sectors, and communities, enabling them to share resources, and providing a vehicle for effective community-based grassroots grantmaking that elevates the voices of those most impacted by environmental degradation.

for the Hive Fund for Climate and Gender Justice
The Hive Fund for Climate and Gender Justice, fiscally sponsored at the Windward Fund, makes grants to organizations accelerating an equitable transition to cleaner energy, while reining in oil, gas, and petrochemical pollution across the U.S. South. The Hive Fund provides multiyear, general support to grantee partners primarily located in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and the Carolinas — states that contribute more than 20% of the nation’s climate pollution. The fund supports organizations working on implementation of recent federal policy, ensuring that these policies put the U.S. on a path to a clean energy transition, one that touches and improves the lives of a broad swath of Americans and intensifies support for even more climate action.
