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. 

Who Is This For?

Are you an advisor at a community foundation, advisory firm, or multi-family office? Are you staff at a lean foundation? Are you an independent advisor working with donor clients? 

As a community of philanthropic professionals, we’d like to help you do your best work quickly and efficiently. Our support can help you confidently make the case to add to or expand your climate portfolio. 

To start, we are offering:

  • An initial training in climate philanthropy by Climate Lead to orient you in the landscape and go deeper on specific interest areas

  • A growing list of fundable opportunities, endorsed by leading philanthropies

  • Access to concise intelligence packages with solution overviews, vetting and supplemental materials 

  • Office hours with experts at Climate Lead, connecting you with the right people to answer your questions 

  • A direct line to support: call or email us for further guidance
