Mission

We are a public charity funded by foundations and individuals making a difference for the planet. We bridge the gap between those who can offer financial support and grassroots groups in developing countries that can make effective use of that support. We help donors overcome the barriers to grassroots grantmaking by identifying worthy organizations and moving funds at minimal cost.

What We Do

Over the past 17 years, we have provided more than 5,000 grants in 129 countries. We believe that grassroots groups and local leaders are key to solving the intractable problems of poverty, powerlessness and environmental destruction. Our experience has shown that there is no better investment than supporting passionate people with great ideas.

Global Greengrants Fund was founded in 1993 with the goal of attaining environmental and social justice for all communities around the world, by increasing the amount of money available for grassroots groups working to address social and environmental injustices. In working towards this goal, we are building a stronger, more resilient grassroots environmental movement capable of creating lasting positive change for our planet.
