We help philanthropic professionals accelerate funding to the climate solutions we need.

Carbon pollution is covering the Earth in a thick blanket, leading to toxic overheating that we all feel in our cities, homes and backyards, whether in the hills of California, a fishing boat in Indonesia, or the sprawl of an Indian megacity. The fight to restore balance to the climate is urgent, but it’s also possible.

Investing philanthropic capital in proven climate solutions today has outsized impact on reducing emissions to safer levels and protecting our shared future.

Redwoods Collective is bringing together the combined knowledge of leading scientists, experts from the field, and other leaders working on critical climate solutions to better equip donors with vetted opportunities that reflect their priorities and passions. We’re offering philanthropy a new source for climate education, vetted leads, and trusted diligence to quickly unlock new money to supercharge climate action.
