‘less than 3% of total philanthropic funding is given to fixing the environment’
The Conservation Collective
Environmental philanthropy faces two key challenges: persuading people to direct money to the biggest issue of our time and getting that money to the most effective environmental initiatives. We are delighted to announce our partnership with The Conservation Collective who have a proven and winning formula for both. The Conservation Collective build clubs of donors linked to places they care passionately about, to open new channels of funding for nature restoration. They have seen that people are instinctively “place-based”, and that when it comes to conservation and philanthropy, we are all more likely to want to protect the places we know and love. They set up, incubate, and support local environmental foundations. All over the world, people are working tirelessly to protect the places they love from the impacts of climate change and the biodiversity crisis. Those most affected by environmental problems are often best placed to tackle them, and grassroots action is the most powerful weapon.
