Climate change is complex. Giving doesn’t have to be.
Our differences
We target systems change
​
To address the drivers of global warming, we need to transform the systems that sustain it. We identify high-leverage philanthropic strategies that reshape policies, advance green technologies, and foster new markets, so your donations can have an outsized impact.
​
We find neglected spaces
​
As funding for climate action increases, certain issue areas can become saturated, leading to diminishing returns. We help donors find innovative strategies that are different from those of larger and more established funders.
​
We are independent
​
Our dedicated team of researchers operates independently, funded by individuals and foundations that share our vision: making high-impact climate giving accessible to everyone. We never take a cut from donations made to our recommended projects.

More than just donations
For businesses
A guide to higher-impact corporate sustainability strategy
​
A greenwashed climate pledge is bad for business and the planet. We have produced a four-step guide on designing an effective and actionable corporate climate strategy, so your business can decarbonize the future, not just offset the past.
For investors
Sustainable investment research
​
Philanthropy is not the only form of capital you can deploy to reduce global warming. Investment capital has an enormous role to play.
We offer overviews of common “sustainable investment” strategies, namely climate impact investing and ESG investing.
Special research projects
Climate consulting
​
We offer climate change consulting for value-aligned individuals, foundations, and businesses.
From identifying climate giving opportunities in specific countries like Australia to strategic guidance on corporate sustainability, we bring an evidence-based approach to your climate goals.

What our readers say
"So, give your most committed friends and family a donation in their name to an organization fighting for those systemic changes… if you aren’t sure which, consult the guides produced by the non-profit initiative Giving Green."
“It was the light in the forest that simplified everything. Giving Green has done all the research and made it easy for me.”
