A note to our community from Giving Green founder and executive director, Dr. Daniel Stein, a week after the US election: "In light of the US election results, we know many are concerned about what this means for the future of our climate. There is no denying that we have a tough four years ahead of us. At Giving Green, our work is rooted in the big picture. We understand that the road to climate mitigation and decarbonization is a long one with many ups and downs. In the face of setbacks, we will stay focused and keep moving in the right direction. We want to reassure our community that we have long been preparing for this moment. Our research and recommendations are guided by a long-term, global strategy that accounts for multiple levers of systems change. This includes policy—on an international, state, and federal level—as well as technology development, market shaping, building social license, and more. We have our work cut out for us, but we are up to the challenge. As are our Top Nonprofits, Giving Green Fund grantees, and the rest of the climate movement." ??

As environmental philanthropy grows, more nonprofits are stepping up as regrantors to effectively channel funds into green initiatives. Inside Philanthropy’s latest article explores how regranting is becoming a powerful tool for scaling environmental impact, helping smaller organizations access funds, and supporting local efforts with larger, pooled resources.

?? Yesterday in Inside Philanthropy, our fearless leader, Dr. Daniel Stein, sits down with Michael Kavate to discuss the rise of green regrantors and the growth of the Giving Green Fund. Have a read to learn more about how the line between grantees and grantors in the climate space is growing increasingly blurry, and what this means for the future of grantmaking. We'd agree that this trend seems like a "win for the democratization of philanthropy." ?? ?? Dr. Stein also gets into the motivations behind forming the Giving Green Fund, expanding the scope of our grants in 2024, moving money as fast as possible, and new research and recommendations coming at the end of this month. https://lnkd.in/ejYmRMXA #ClimateAction #Philanthropy #GreenGrantmaking #ClimateChange
