How We Work

By working with us, you can expect:

  • One-on-One Advising

The climate crisis is complex. We provide a clear, comprehensive framework for climate action that deepens learning and informs philanthropic decision-making.

Our guidance is tailored to your needs and interests, with climate impact always at the forefront.

Climate Lead and NGOs

Climate Lead elevates mission-driven organizations to interested donors, so together, we can achieve a bold impact. We partner with NGOs that have proven strategies for impact and elevate their projects that need scaled funding.

High Impact

We work with organizations with diverse perspectives, proven track records of success, as well as robust strategies, objectives, and metrics for impact.

Effective Implementation 

To ensure each organization can scale successfully, we work with organizations with strong leadership, conscientious stewardship, effective collaboration, and clear priorities for philanthropic resources.

How We Identify Solutions

Rather than advocate for any one theory of change, we center the expertise of our broad network of advisors to identify ready-to-scale solutions. Above all, we prioritize matching donor interests with climate impact.

 

How We Amplify Solutions to Donors

We elevate credible solutions to interested donors by helping to communicate these organizations’ stories as clearly and compellingly as possible, always placing their expertise at the forefront. We encourage flexible, multi-year funding and once a gift is made, transition stewardship from Climate Lead to the NGO as quickly as possible.
