Celebrating 2 Years of Progress

In September 2019, the Hive Fund buzzed into being to super-charge progress toward climate, gender, and racial justice by resourcing groups led by and serving Black, brown, AAPI, and Indigenous women and others on the frontlines in the US South. Events over the last two years have clarified even further the importance of these organizations’ leadership and vision. Looking back, we are grateful for what we have been able to accomplish in deep partnership with advisors, grantee partners, funders, and other allies:

Vision for the Coming Years:

2022 is a pivotal year in a decisive decade. As the Hive Fund heads into our third year in operation, we are literally doubling down in the Gulf South and Atlantic Coast regions where opportunities to address pollution and injustice are high, yet philanthropic support is low. We aim to raise enough new funding to cover urgent gaps of at least $15 million a year across the Gulf South and Atlantic Coast in 2022 and 2023.

Hive Fund grantee partners and allies are racking up wins and building momentum by:

  • Boosting civic engagement and protecting and expanding our multiracial democracy;

  • Ensuring those most impacted by disparity, pollution, and climate impacts help shape clean energy and other public policies;

  • Slowing and stopping expansion of oil, gas, and petrochemical pollution in the Gulf South;

  • Re-shaping electric power utilities along the Atlantic Coast; and

  • Changing and expanding hearts, minds, and imaginations through communications and culture.

Hive Fund 2nd Anniversary Playlist

Music has always been a powerful way to organize, move people, and express our joys and sorrows. One of our traditions has been to invite our grantee partners, advisors and staff to share songs that move and inspire them. These are some of the songs that made us feel, kept us connected, and got us through the last two years.
