Project Marketplace

Project Marketplace

If we want to solve the climate crisis we have to increase funding for action on the ground.

Currently, environmental causes get less than 2% of global philanthropy and only a small fraction of that makes it to the communities and organizations most impacted by climate change. Less than 0.2% of all foundation funding goes to women-led environmental action, and almost no resources are directed to indigenous-led projects, despite the fact that over one third of the lands we need to protect are held by indigenous peoples.

The good news is that on-the-ground action is already happening. And we’ve created a platform that directs resources to the best projects in each region, in line with a global strategy guided by science.

The Project Marketplace connects non-profit projects to the philanthropic capital they need to scale. The projects all help to achieve the 1.5°C goal and are organized by the three main pillars of action - shifting to 100% renewable energy; protecting and restoring 50% of our lands and seas; and shifting to regenerative, climate-friendly agriculture. Projects are organized geographically by bioregion, making climate action tangible and place-based. 

The current marketplace is a beta version featuring an initial 30 projects. We are adding projects every week and continually improving functionality. In 2021 a more extensive platform with a much larger offering of projects indexed across each of the world’s 184 bioregions.
