1.5°Climate Projects

Since launching in 2022, the 1.5°Climate donor collaborative has hosted more than 100 organizational quick pitch presentations. Through these events, 1.5°Climate members and match providers have contributed over $32 million to a range of impactful climate organizations. To date, the donor collaborative’s work has been centered on two core presentation series: Powering Up and Deployment Decade and Investing in Elections for Climate.

Within the Powering Up the Deployment Decade series, we have covered topics such as Climate Reporting, Climate Finance, Inflation Reduction Act Implementation, State and Local Climate Action, Racial Equity Investment, and Red State Investment.

Within the Investing in Elections for Climate series, we have covered topics such as Field Programs, Messaging and Paid Media, Battleground States and Districts, Senate Races, House Races, and Down Ballot Climate Races.

For philanthropists looking to multiply their climate impact, we encourage you to join the group.

Membership is free, and gains you access to our research repository of organizational “pitch cards” including links to presenters’ video presentations, pitch-decks, project narratives, due diligence docs, verified contribution instructions, and information on 1:1 matching funds we arrange for most presenting organizations. 

Highlighted organizations are selected through a rigorous process involving staff-led research that includes hundreds of interviews. The most catalytic, gap filling, and high impact opportunities are then elevated to the 1.5°Climate Steering Committee for consideration and final selection. Organizations that would like to present to the 1.5°Climate collaborative can complete our interest form.
