About 2030
2030 Inc’s recent grantmaking is shaped by a single large operating grant: $1,543,922 to Carbon Leadership Forum for general operations in 2025. That size, alongside the foundation’s typical grant range, suggests a funder that works through substantial awards rather than many small checks. The foundation’s stated purpose is to rapidly transform the built environment from a major source of greenhouse gas emissions into a central solution to the climate crisis by accelerating design, policy, education, and implementation toward zero-carbon, climate-positive buildings and communities. Recent support also reached Climate Positive Design with a $9,000 general operations grant in 2025, pointing to a mix of major institutional support and smaller operational backing. Across its described focus areas, the foundation centers built environment decarbonization, embodied carbon reduction, urban and regional planning, design education, policy and advocacy, and tools and resources for practitioners. Its active 2030 Curriculum Project reinforces the emphasis on education by inviting U.S. architecture and planning schools to propose curriculum that integrates energy use, emissions, and resiliency.
What 2030 Funds
In built environment decarbonization, 2030 Inc backed Carbon Leadership Forum with $1,543,922 for general operations, indicating support for fieldwide work rather than a single project. The foundation also aligns with embodied carbon reduction through its stated focus on materials and construction innovation, and with planning through its emphasis on urban and regional planning. Education is another clear thread: the active 2030 Curriculum Project invites U.S. architecture and planning educators to submit innovative curricular proposals that integrate energy use, emissions, and resiliency. Policy and advocacy appear in the foundation’s focus areas as well, matching its goal of accelerating design, policy, education, and implementation toward climate-positive buildings and communities.
