OUR MISSION
We are a nonprofit that aims to make an outsized impact on resolving the climate crisis through our global philanthropy. This mission may not be unique; it’s how we do it that sets us apart.
Bold climate action deserves bold philanthropy. Let’s bet big; let’s break through.
2025 awardees
Meet Alessandra Orofino, Gavin McCormick, Liming Qiao, Ramón Méndez Galain, and the team of Giuliana Furci, Merlin Sheldrake, and Toby Kiers. They are 2025 cohort of the prestigious Climate Breakthrough Award program. Over the next few years, they will develop, launch, and scale their boldest new initiatives their boldest new initiatives for large-scale policy, economic, and social transformation to address the climate crisis.
We provide each of the five Awardees with $4 million—the largest climate award for individuals—in multiyear, flexible, non-directive funding. With the new cohort, we have now awarded or committed multimillion-dollar funding to 26 individuals and two teams of Awardees.
OUR LEGACY
Since 2016, we have championed some of the world’s most visionary strategists to close the gap between the world today and a sustainable future. We have backed leaders who understand what it takes to win: bold, transformative climate mitigation initiatives rather than incremental ones centered on near-term success.
But our legacy isn’t just about who and what we support—it’s about how we support.
