About Center for Climate Integrity
The Center for Climate Integrity focuses its giving on building climate accountability campaigns and state-level climate advocacy infrastructure, funding both national intermediaries and regional grassroots groups that push policy, corporate accountability, and public campaigns. Grants are typically described as campaign strategy and program support, indicating an emphasis on paid organizing, communications, and strategy rather than purely research or service delivery. The foundation appears to prioritize organizations working on holding polluters and decision-makers accountable across multiple U.S. states, while also investing in platforms that coordinate or amplify those efforts.

About Center for Climate Integrity
Center for Climate Integrity centers its grantmaking on climate accountability campaign strategy and support, with repeated awards to intermediaries and state-level advocacy groups that push policy, corporate accountability, and public campaigns. The largest recent grants went to New Venture Fund, which received $250,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for climate accountability campaign strategy and support. That recurring support points to a funder that backs sustained organizing infrastructure rather than one-off projects. Recent awards also show a pattern of backing regional organizations that can carry climate accountability work into specific states and regions. Maine Conservation Alliance received $105,000 in 2023 and $95,000 in 2024 for the same purpose, while Chesapeake Climate Action Network received $100,000 in 2024 after a $75,000 grant in 2023. The foundation’s portfolio also includes grassroots and campaign-oriented groups such as Breach Collective, Mn350, Fresh Energy, and Arizona Coalition for Change, suggesting a mix of national coordination and local or state-based advocacy. Across the grants shown, the stated purpose is consistent: climate accountability campaign strategy and support.
