The Hive Fund for Climate and Gender Justice is a specialized intermediary that raises funds and makes grants to groups that are building power to accelerate an equitable transition to cleaner, renewable energy and rein in dirty energy in the US South, where pollution levels and clean energy opportunities are high and funding levels are low.
In partnership with nearly two dozen donors, a broad array of advisors, the Hive Fund provides multiyear, general support to more than 120 grantee partners primarily in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and the Carolinas — states that contribute more than 20 percent of the nation’s climate pollution. More than 75 percent of this funding flows to organizations led by Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Asian American and Pacific Islander women — impactful leaders that have historically been overlooked and undervalued by philanthropy.
OUR WORK
“building the good”
Place-based groups are elevating powerful visions for implementing new federal climate investments in ways that improve their lives and the lives of a broad swath of Americans. The Hive Fund is co-creating with our grantee partners a strategic, place-plus grantmaking approach to leverage this unprecedented opportunity.
grantee partners
The Hive Fund has awarded nearly $50 million in multiyear grants that support organizations charting a path for transformational change. These groups are using a range of tactics and strategies to tackle deep-rooted problems and promote proactive climate solutions across the South.
Learning lab
Our Learning Lab is where we share insights, ideas, challenges and learnings from our grantee and funder communities to help philanthropy be a better partner in the fight for climate, gender, and racial justice.
