Congratulations to Climate Breakthrough for the sustained commitment to climate action.
Philanthropy alone cannot address the climate crisis, but we’ve seen how it can punch way above its weight particularly when it places more creative freedom and equity in the hands of highly-skilled people on the ground.

Meet the 2024 Climate Breakthrough Awardees

Eriel Tchekwie Deranger, Alex Doukas, Kimiko Hirata, and Tero Mustonen are the 2024 cohort of the Climate Breakthrough Award program. Over the next three years, we will provide each with a $4 million award—the largest climate funding package for individuals—and other support to develop, launch, and scale their boldest new initiatives with breakthrough potential to address climate change.

How Climate Philanthropy Can Solve Its Innovation Challenge

“With the science showing that we don’t have much time left to shift course on climate change, philanthropy has an outsized opportunity to change the course of history,” Savanna Ferguson, executive director of Climate Breakthrough, and Nancy Lindborg, President and CEO of The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, write for Devex.

The Case for Bolstering Capacity Building

At Climate Breakthrough, we complement our large, flexible grants with additional funding for critical wraparound resources that help our awardees be successful. Our Director of Programs, Alex Wang, writes for Active Philanthropy.
