Energy & Climate

Our Committment

The Windward Fund is committed to discovering and implementing methods to address energy and climate issues across the globe. Several of our projects are working to mitigate the effects of climate change by researching, establishing, and funding renewable energy sources, energy conservation tactics, and tactics to engage the oil and gas industries. Additionally, projects are combating ozone depletion and pollution using tactics such as carbon capture, methane reduction initiatives, and more.

Energy & Climate Projects

Collectrify operates a trust-based fund that demonstrates how decarbonization can advance both climate goals and environmental justice through democratic processes and frontline leadership. Collectrify supports grassroots and base-building organizations and their leaders through direct funding, technical assistance, and a national Learning Community Collaboratory Network—a unique forum where they provide a dedicated space for funders and community practitioners to collaboratively build trust, foster community, and engage in mutual learning. Collectrify’s funding model is designed to ensure housing and energy affordability for everyone because they support community-driven climate solutions that advance equitable building electrification at scale.

Hive Fund raises funds and makes grants to groups working to accelerate the transition from dirty to clean energy in ways that center justice, redistribute power, and create healthier, safer, and more prosperous communities. Its grantmaking is focused in the US South—a region whose high pollution levels, abundant clean energy opportunities, and legacy of environmental justice leadership make it critical for global climate progress. Hive Fund’s grant dollars go to organizations led by impactful leaders—nearly three quarters of them Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Asian American and Pacific Islander women and gender-nonconforming people—that have historically been overlooked and undervalued by philanthropy.
