Climate Emergency Fund supports disruptive, nonviolent climate activism because it is the fastest way to create transformative change.
We seek ultra-ambitious projects, kickstart early-stage efforts, and fund key infrastructure that build enough power to transform society and win big for a livable future.

Our program areas
Fighting Fossil Fuels
The vast majority of Climate Emergency Fund grants aim to end the fossil fuel economy to secure a livable future. Our grantees are grassroots groups employing a wide range of tactics.
Seed Funding for New Movements
A relatively small infusion of funds to protest groups dramatically improve their chances of liftoff. We specialize in identifying and supporting promising new movements in their earliest stages.
Climate Justice and Democracy
Diverse climate movement leaders have begun piloting visionary new strategies – from debt cancelation to citizens’ assemblies, paving the way for shifting society at scale on the climate fight.
Movement Infrastructure
Protest movements can benefit from behind-the-scenes, professional support, including strategic consulting, training, press support, fiscal sponsorships, software, and more.
Climate Resistance Incubator
Climate Emergency Fund has partnered with top movement experts to create a transformative piece of movement infrastructure, which aims to catalyze the next generation of climate mass protest movements in the U.S.
