About CS Fund and Warsh-Mott Legacy
CS Fund & Warsh-Mott Legacy is a family foundation that funds grassroots, Indigenous-led, and smallholder organizations globally to defend democratic rights and governance, advance food sovereignty, and push just transitions away from extractive systems. The foundation emphasizes research and advocacy that critiques false technological and market 'solutions' (e.g., geoengineering, synthetic biology, nanotech) and prefers general operating and multi-year support for movement-building and policy change. Grants tend to be pragmatic and targeted at organizations working at the intersection of climate justice, community resilience, and rights-based governance.
