About Greenpeace Fund
Greenpeace Fund Inc concentrates its giving on Greenpeace Inc in Washington, DC, with every grant in the recent file going to that same recipient. The largest recent award was $8,000,000 for core climate and energy campaigns, followed by $6,412,185 for the biodiversity program and $5,150,000 for the climate program. That pattern shows a funder that backs a small number of large, campaign-oriented grants rather than a broad portfolio of many recipients. The foundation also supported Greenpeace’s democracy program with $4,750,000 and its core ocean plastics campaign with $5,100,000, indicating that its funding spans environmental advocacy, marine protection, and civic engagement. Smaller grants appear as well, including support for climate awareness and participation and organizational effectiveness, which suggests the funder also covers program infrastructure and public engagement needs. Across the recent grants listed, the relationship is consistent and tightly linked to the Greenpeace movement.
