About the Organization

ClimateWorks Foundation is a global organization committed to our mission: to end the climate crisis by amplifying the power of philanthropy. Since our founding in 2008, over $2 billion in grants to more than 850 organizations working to advance climate solutions around the world. We helped grow the field of climate philanthropy to where it stands today, establishing infrastructure, global networks, and momentum for continued growth. Through our Global Programs and Services, we equip philanthropy with global knowledge, networks, and solutions to drive climate progress.

Scaling solutions: Our collaborative Global Programs — focused on solution areas including carbon dioxide removal, cooling, industry, transportation, and more — produce results that are bending the greenhouse gas emissions curve. From the U.S. to Europe, China, Brazil, and beyond, we collaborate with a diverse community of funders, NGOs, and climate leaders to accelerate climate solutions.

Guiding and supporting funders: Our Global Services provide funders with comprehensive resources to assess, build, evolve, and execute high-impact climate-giving strategies. Our Global Intelligence service equips funders and the climate community with climate insights to pinpoint opportunities for impact and philanthropic insights to help identify investment priorities. We facilitate Global Collaborations that enable funders to increase individual and collective impact. Our Global Grantmaking services enable funders to invest in climate solutions around the world.

Fostering collaboration, exploration, and growth: Our collaborative approach and commitment to learning ensures that we continuously explore innovative ideas and emerging opportunities — all with the aim of scaling philanthropy-supported initiatives to help end the climate crisis.

Experienced in climate science, public policy, economic and social analysis, and strategic philanthropy, ClimateWorks’ staff understands the multi-faceted challenges and opportunities of climate change. We are researchers, strategists, collaborators, and grantmakers who care passionately about our mission.

Fiscally sponsored by ClimateWorks, the Global Industry Hub’s mission is to accelerate the decarbonization of heavy industry by mobilizing philanthropic and blended capital toward the most strategic, high-impact opportunities in steel, cement, and chemicals.

The Hub bridges the gap between funders, policymakers, and industrial actors, turning complex, capital-intensive transitions into coordinated, investable pathways. Its value lies in its ability to act as a neutral, catalytic platform: aligning fragmented efforts, de-risking innovation, and building the institutional infrastructure needed for large-scale industrial transformation. By combining technical insight, financial innovation, and global convening power, the Hub enables funders to achieve far greater impact per dollar, accelerating emissions reductions while strengthening industrial competitiveness and regional development.
