About Digital Green Foundation
Digital Green Foundation’s largest recent grants show a clear emphasis on digital agricultural advisory systems paired with field-level data work: $636,339 to Precision Development in 2025 and $588,147 to the same grantee in 2024, both for data collection and analysis, advisory content development, and strengthening digital advisory delivery for the dairy sector in Ethiopia. That pattern points to a funder focused on how farmers receive, use, and act on technical information rather than on direct service delivery alone. The foundation also supports work that links advisory content with decision-making and production outcomes. It granted $197,578 to Environmental Defense Fund in 2024 to identify advisory content and share data for state-level climate and agriculture decision-making in Bihar, India, while the International Food Policy Research Institute received $121,381 in 2025 for monitoring, evaluation, data analysis, and tools to contextualize advisory information for improved wheat and dairy production in Ethiopia. Across these grants, Digital Green Foundation appears to fund research, data systems, and delivery infrastructure that can be used by agricultural extension and advisory partners.
What Digital Green Foundation Funds
Digital Green Foundation supports several connected areas of agricultural systems work. In dairy-sector advisory delivery, it gave $57,249 to Dimagi Inc in 2024 to support development of a farmer registry and content management system to improve delivery of contextualized agricultural advisory services in Ethiopia. In climate and agriculture policy work, the foundation awarded $80,868 in 2025 to Environmental Defense Fund for advisory content identification and sharing data to inform state-level decision-making related to climate and agriculture in Bihar, India. For emissions measurement, it provided $75,700 to Cornell University in 2024 for technical analysis on models, approach, and data collection protocols to measure greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture suited to Bihar, India. The foundation also backs evidence generation and monitoring work through the International Food Policy Research Institute’s role in testing tools for improved wheat and dairy production in Ethiopia.
How Digital Green Foundation Gives
Typical grant size sits at a median of $110,509, with the middle half ranging from $75,700 to $197,578. The largest recent award is much higher at $636,339, suggesting the foundation can make larger, multi-part grants when projects require more intensive technical work. The pattern of repeat awards is notable: Precision Development appears in two consecutive years, and International Food Policy Research Institute and Environmental Defense Fund also received grants in more than one year. That points to ongoing project relationships rather than isolated one-off gifts. The foundation is an operating grantmaker and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. No application process is described in the provided data.
