We aim 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. 

Launched in 2016, our Climate Breakthrough Award program is uniquely designed for social change leaders to develop, launch, and scale their boldest new initiatives with breakthrough potential to address climate change. We identify and back visionary individuals from around the world who have bold ambitions and the capacity to turn their ideas into reality. We offer them a rare opportunity to think bigger, build their own strategies, and embrace the possibility of failure without the common constraints imposed by funders that often stifle innovation.
