Energy

We support two linked goals: challenging the development of fossil fuels and accelerating transformation towards a clean and equitable energy system.

Food & Agriculture

We support efforts to build an agricultural system that improves soil, air, water, human and animal health.

Indigenous Communities

We support Indigenous-led work that advances Indigenous communities’ and peoples’ self-determination and re-Indigenization.

Human Rights

We support movements for just and ecologically sound development that promotes human rights, vibrant local economies and dignified livelihoods for all.

Emerging Strategies

We are building new models that cross program boundaries to bring shared learning and systems thinking to the deeply urgent issues of our time.

Partners from Uganda, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Bolivia share reflections during a learning exchange on fossil fuels and the promise of renewable energy in Richmond, Calif., in an early iteration of our cross-programmatic work.

Impact Investing

We invest in companies and social enterprises tackling the most pressing social and environmental problems of our time.
