Climate Change and Philanthropy Infrastructure: Supporting the Ecosystem to Act
The report offers practical insights for foundations, helping them engage more deeply with climate action and maximise their impact.
The scale of the challenge calls for collective action, and philanthropy infrastructure organisations (PIOs) are integral to fostering collaboration, innovation and impact within the broader philanthropic ecosystem. This takes place in a dynamic context where the support available to foundations continues to expand in various forms including collaborative giving platforms, networks and advisory organisations.
This third edition includes 33 PIOs operating across European, national, regional and global levels. This publication provides an updated snapshot of the diverse actors that are contributing to supporting and shaping the field, including thematic and geographic networks, associations, pooled funds, consulting and advisory organisations and media entities.
The report offers practical insights for foundations and PIOs, helping them engage more deeply with climate action and maximise their impact. It underscores the importance of infrastructure in building a more connected, coordinated and climate-engaged philanthropic community.
