📣 Exciting news! ClimateWorks Foundation’s Drive Electric report was featured in a recent Inside Philanthropy article, spotlighting summer must-reads for climate grantmakers and other funders. Michael Kavate highlights the focused direction of funding: "60% of the campaign’s funding went to work on freight trucks, up from just under half of all funding the year before. That is nearly four times what went to the next-largest category, cars, which received 16% in 2023, down by almost half from the year before." 📚 Read more: https://lnkd.in/gfYsfFZf #ClimateAction #SummerReading

🌱✨ Sustainable Seattle! 🌱✨ As a board member, I am excited to share our participation in the GiveBIG campaign by wagives - a Washington state online giving platform campaign. I, along with other board members, are donating up to $2,500 to match if S2 receives more than 25 donations. Who We Are: S2 is a grassroot non profit: Our team and board leadership, along with program participants, represent those most impacted by environmental & economic injustices. As frontline leaders, we address issues like housing insecurity, food scarcity, climate & energy risk, and lack of healthcare access. What We Do: Our work is focused on three key program areas: Interweave: An interdisciplinary sustainability accelerator supporting frontline-led projects with fiscal sponsorship, technical assistance, and capacity building. Since 2020, we've returned $3.1M to the community through this program, supporting 18 projects with 8 more in the pipeline, 94% of which are QTBIPOC or BIPOC-led. Soil Health and Justice Initiative (SHJI): Building community understanding and grassroots advocacy to strengthen sustainability efforts. Just Circular Communities Initiative (JCC): Collaborating on circular economy frameworks to reduce waste, regenerate ecosystems, prevent displacement, and build resilience in frontline neighborhoods. Your Support Matters: As a community oriented grassroot organization, a good portion of our funding relies on crowdsource efforts. By donating to our GiveBIG campaign, each dollar is matched and you directly contribute to our efforts in advancing racial, environmental, and economic justice. Together, we can create a thriving, regenerative Seattle that embraces inclusivity and community ownership. Join us in making a difference! Visit https://lnkd.in/gUtkTJ5v to support Sustainable Seattle today. This campaign ends on May 8th, with May 7th & May 8th being the GiveBig days. #GiveBIG #SustainableSeattle #ClimateJustice #EconomicJustice #nonprofit

Yet, we know more is needed to #restore balance and #regenerate the Earth's vast potential. We are asking for your support this Earth Day as we are a beneficiary of the #BigGive #Green #Match which means that generously the #ReedFoundation and Environmental Funders Network will make sure that any £1 you give will become £2, and £5 you give will become £10.

As part of a campaign to expand what it means for philanthropy to divest, the investigative nonprofit F Minus put together a report on funders — including climate backers — who maintain connections to fossil fuel lobbyists.

ICYMI: The Bridgespan Group released a new report on how philanthropy can spur a mass rush off the sidelines and into major climate action over the next decade. My major takeaway? "...collaboratives or intermediaries played a big role in nearly all the climate wins most often mentioned by the team’s interviewees. As the saying goes, if you want to go far, go together." This is exactly why Equation Campaign is bringing together donors and funding frontline movements in David vs. Goliath fights to stop fossil fuel infrastructure growth in the U.S. ➡ because its what works. Our grantees are WINNING. Gas corporations even cite “delays from opposition groups” as the most significant threat to their infrastructure expansion. Thanks Michael Kavate for writing this article. With the massive chaos of floods, wildfires, heatwaves, and hurricanes this summer - it is so clear that the stakes of major donors sitting on their hands is SO much higher. We need to move money out of the coffers and into the hands of frontline defenders worldwide today, not tomorrow. Please join us! www.equationcampaign.org Leslie MacKrell Jasper Teulings Deepak Bhargava https://lnkd.in/eh5u-9KC

👏🏽👏🏼👏🏻 Candid has featured our newest catalytic capital program, Trellis Climate, in their Philanthropy News Digest. As a leader in providing data and insights about the social sector, Candid’s acknowledgment underscores the importance of Prime’s work in advancing philanthropy for climate solutions. Trellis Climate invests in pioneering climate infrastructure projects that often face significant hurdles due to their risk and capital intensity. By leveraging risk-tolerant, catalytic capital, Trellis Climate aims to mitigate these challenges, help close the funding gap, and accelerate the deployment of crucial technologies necessary to achieve net-zero targets by 2050. Through this initiative, Trellis Climate will not only reduce financial barriers through direct investment but also provide complementary funding to tackle systemic barriers impacting project deployment. By sharing lessons learned with investors, communities, philanthropists, policymakers, and other stakeholders, we aim to significantly amplify our impact.

Good article on the role of philanthropy in addressing the climate emergency by Surabi Menon and Saliem Fakir. As we navigate the transition to a sustainable future, it's key to take a strategic and holistic approach to our philanthropic choices. Philanthropy can also take on the risks that other funding sources can't, unlocking transformative change. #climatechange #climateworks #climateresearch Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/eDQA-VyH

I am flying back from Chicago, where I attended an innovative conference sponsored by Council on Foundations, called #BuildingTogether. The meeting explored how to address toxic polarization at a moment when it is on the rise. Powerfully, I thought, the conference (which our partner, Mosaic, helped sponsor) focused on more than just skills and academics. Rather, it helped diverse attendees “develop the heartset, mindset, and skillset to lead collaboratively across difference.” Bridging difference, which is a component of effective #movement building, has to be approached with integrity and authenticity. It can’t occur if those engaged don’t fundamentally agree on the each other’s shared humanity, as The Greater Good Science Center emphasized. But the possibilities are significant when done well, with an open heart, mind, and the skills to engage with those who see things differently. This was the lesson of a panel on building a more powerful #climate movement I moderated with an exceptional group of leaders, Jacqueline Patterson, Susan Hendershot, Ariana Gonzalez, and Katie Robinson, who bring a range of skills and perspectives to the work. Without exception, they shared stories where bridging efforts generated impact and results by finding important zones of common ground, ranging from broad coalitions that helped ensure passage of the #IRA, to various new #environmental policies, to the expansion of efforts to advance #environmentaljustice in communities across the country. Katie Robinson, Mosaic’s director, said it well in the opening plenary in describing the bridging work that Mosaic’s Governance Assembly accomplished in recent years in making nearly $30 million in grants to build the shared capacity of environmental advocates. About this group, who are in many ways a fractal of the broader #climate movement, Katie said, “over the past several years these leaders have done the hard work to build the trust necessary to advance our collective capacity to solve climate challenges. They have moved from wariness to relationship.” I would add that this means they, and the groups they lead, share something that is both powerful and rare: each other’s insight. Given the pace and scale of the challenges we all face, that is no small thing. Check out the The Chronicle of Philanthropy story (with quotes from Katie, Kathleen Enright, Monica Guzman, The New York Times columnist David Brooks, Tracy Cutler, Paul Bachleitner, Allison K. Ralph, Ph.D., Eric Ward). https://lnkd.in/gFG9XtFz

In our race for climate solutions, philanthropy has mobilized billions in pledge commitments related to Indigenous People and their lands without sufficient involvement of Indigenous Peoples themselves. Funders need to invoke a human rights lens on all climate action or lose authenticity.
