foundations

The #PhilanthropyForClimate movement includes several national philanthropy commitments on climate change and the International Philanthropy Commitment on Climate Change.

Together, we call on all foundations, regardless of their mission, status or geographic location to join us and signal their commitment to climate action. 

The growing climate emergency presents a serious risk to the pursuit of philanthropic aims everywhere. All organisations with philanthropic resources, whatever their mission and field of expertise, can play a role in addressing this emergency. Foundations and other types of philanthropic organisations have an immense potential for positive climate impact when integrating climate considerations into their own operations and programmes as well as in the investment of their endowments.

Depending on where they operate, foundations can either join one of the existing national philanthropy commitments or sign the International Philanthropy Commitment on Climate Change.

We invite foundations and philanthropic organisations to become a #PhilanthropyForClimate signatory.

The International Philanthropy Commitment is hosted by WINGS. We will work with foundation signatories around the world to support and encourage them on this journey. We invite you to reach out to us for more information.

The climate emergency is here. Join #PhilanthropyForClimate and commit to meaningful climate action today!
