We’re hard at work on our mission to end the climate crisis.
We could use a few more smart, passionate team members to help us. That’s where you come in.
ClimateWorks Foundation is a global non-governmental organization with a single mission: to end the climate crisis by amplifying the power of philanthropy. Since our founding in 2008, we have awarded over $2 billion in grants to more than 850 organizations advancing 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.
As experts 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.
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 are proud to collaborate with a diverse community of funders, NGOs, and climate leaders to accelerate climate action around the globe.
Guiding and supporting funders
Our Global Services provide funders with comprehensive resources to assess, build, evolve, and execute high-impact climate-giving strategies. For example, our flagship Global Intelligence service equips funders with cutting-edge information on greenhouse gas mitigation opportunities, climate trends, and global climate philanthropy funding flows. We also provide Collaborations and Grantmaking services to funders.
Fostering collaboration, exploration, and growth
By facilitating collaboration through funder forums, learning networks, and joint-action groups, we help build high-trust relationships and create strategic alignment across the climate philanthropy ecosystem. Our collaborative approach and commitment to learning ensure that we continuously explore innovative ideas and emerging opportunities — all with the aim of scaling philanthropy-supported initiatives that drive climate action.
