About Climate Power
Climate Power’s largest recent grant was $25,000,000 to Future Forward USA Action for public awareness of climate and clean energy progress, a sign that the funder uses large communications grants to shape national climate narratives. The foundation supports a mix of public education, media outreach, electoral engagement, and Spanish-language mobilization, with additional funding for disinformation response, ESG-related advocacy, and climate events. Its recent grants show a strong emphasis on messaging infrastructure rather than direct service delivery. The foundation also backed Climate Power Action with $10,200,000 for electoral engagement, and supported Ceres Inc with $1,759,380 to combat efforts to oppose ESG. Other grants point to a broader strategy: climate education and awareness, public events, and outreach aimed at Latino communities and people affected by extreme weather. Across the recent grants, Climate Power appears to fund organizations that influence public opinion, public policy, and civic participation around climate and clean energy issues.
What Climate Power Funds
Climate Power’s grantmaking is centered on communications and public education. In 2025, it gave $800,000 to Crooked Ideas and $350,000 to Crooked Media for public awareness of climate and the Inflation Reduction Act, showing an interest in translating policy into public-facing content. It also funds Spanish-language outreach and Latinx engagement. Recent examples include $75,000 to Climate Group Inc for Spanish language public awareness on climate and $60,000 to Sachamama Inc for the same purpose. A $130,000 grant to Tides Advocacy supported survivors of extreme weather and Latinx engagement, linking communications with disaster-response audiences. Another strand is climate politics and advocacy. The foundation gave $100,000 to the American Sustainable Business Institute for the responsible business movement and $177,581 to Triplecheck for combating disinformation. It also supported the Democratic Mayors Association and Vote Save America through event sponsorship and climate mobilization-related work.
