With the impacts of climate change already at our front door, the time is now to ensure that we are prepared and equipped to protect and conserve the places that we live in and love.

Communities are ready to put climate solutions in action. Through our Giving Program, the Climate Science Alliance mobilizes funding and partnerships to make it happen.

We directly fund locally-led climate projects and leverage our own expertise and capacity to amplify the community’s impact—helping awardees every step of the way, in whatever way they need us. The projects and people we invest time and money in are: 


Restoring habitats
Sustaining cultural and ecological knowledge
Protecting water, land, and wildlife
Inspiring the next generation of stewards

Our Impact

What We Fund

Support the Giving Program

Did you know? Community-led efforts remain among the least funded in the climate sector.

 

As a team, we are here to be in-service to community and are committed to being bold in tackling climate challenges in a way that creates lasting transformative impact.

Our Giving Program goes beyond financial investments. We match funds with the support, technical skills, and expertise of our team and advisors to ensure our partners are fully supported. We are grateful to our Giving Program funders who trust us and give us the ability to be creative and responsive to community needs.

What’s your role?

The Climate Science Alliance works collaboratively with foundations, government entities, and donors to identify and bridge gaps to advance trust-based investments in climate solutions. Your support can be the difference between a shovel-ready project sitting on the shelf, or putting hands on the ground to restore and invest in the places we live in and love.
