A broad diversity of foundations and donors are making grants at the intersections of climate change, health, and equity. Some are funding at the grassroots level, some at a state or regional level, some nationally or globally. Their specific aims and issues, places, or communities of focus vary. Despite these differences, funders in this space share a sense of urgency about the climate crisis, a grounded optimism about solution paths forward, and an appreciation of impacted people as problem-solvers.
To learn more about engaged foundations, see this funder and field survey report, as well as a list of philanthropies making relevant grants.
