“The power to give should actually rest with the people who have the most experience instead of the people with the most money. Global Greengrants Fund works with experts around the world—activists who live on the frontlines and are deeply connected to the communities where they live—to place funds directly in the hands of those who can make an impact.”
-Alison Goldberg, Donor since 2006
The generosity of our donors makes it possible for Global Greengrants to get resources directly to local people working to protect our shared planet and promote environmental justice.
All of the foundations, corporations, and individuals that support our work share a common goal: to mobilize much-needed support to people who are often overlooked by traditional philanthropy but who have the solutions to make a lasting impact on the health of our planet and people’s rights.
Meet Our Donors
Greg Davis
Donor since 2003
“In a world of large issues, my wife and I discovered that through Global Greengrants, the small amounts that we could afford could have huge impacts for individual groups around the world. That makes our efforts so much more rewarding.”
Woka Foundation
Donor since 2020
"Woka Foundation supports Global Greengrants Fund because Greengrants allows our our funds to reach grassroots organizations, many of them women-led, that are fighting climate change in over ninety countries around the globe. Through their re-granting programs, partnering with Greengrants allows us to support local organizations that we would never be able to find and in locations wherein it would be difficult to impossible for us to make grants. In addition, Greengrants' grant making process uniquely utilizes the input of local partners to select solutions and strategies developed by the affected communities, an important priority for Woka Foundation."
Jessie Bluedorn

"The fight for true climate justice is the fight of our lives. I’m proud to support Global Greengrants Fund because in working with local regional advisors, getting funding directly to frontline leaders in the Global South, and advancing grassroots solutions, they’re providing exactly the kind of support the international movement needs."
