Our mission is to accelerate the global shift toward a sustainable, green economy with a central focus on achieving net-zero emissions. We strategically channel our resources into pioneering projects across key areas: advancing emerging, untested technologies for long-term carbon capture; supporting advocacy and policy initiatives that drive emissions reduction; and promoting ecologically sustainable practices for nature restoration and preservation. Funding is deployed both as grants to nonprofits and through pre-purchases of permanent carbon removal. 4353080 4353080 Nature Transformation Fund (NTF) is dedicated to fueling impactful initiatives that protect and restore the natural world. Our goal is to foster a resilient, biodiverse environment through targeted investments that address critical ecological challenges. We support innovative projects across several essential areas: preserving threatened habitats and ecosystems, promoting sustainable practices that reduce human impact, advancing technologies for biodiversity conservation, and empowering local communities to steward their natural resources. By directing resources toward scalable, high-impact solutions, the Nature Transformation Fund is committed to fostering a future where nature and humanity thrive together. 584326 584326 The Forests and Landscapes Fund (FLF) is dedicated to protecting and restoring the world's critical forest ecosystems that absorb 30% of global carbon emissions and support 80% of the world's biodiversity. Our mission is to combat the alarming rate of deforestation-equivalent to losing an area the size of Iceland each year-through strategic investments that preserve ecological balance and prevent climate acceleration. We deploy resources across three essential pillars: 1. Planting trees and restoring forests through reforestation of degraded areas from rainforests to mountain ranges 2. Protecting and restoring open landscapes by enhancing ecological health of grasslands, wetlands, and other vital habitats 3. Stopping deforestation and overexploitation through community-led conservation and sustainable land management practices By supporting both large and small organizations committed to forest conservation, the Forests and Landscapes Fund addresses the urgent need to preserve these vital ecosystems that are essential to our planet's survival. Through partnerships with conservation organizations across multiple continents, we work to ensure thriving forests and landscapes that can continue to sustain biodiversity, regulate climate, and support local communities for generations to come 263804 242822 0 ALL OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 263804 242822 9639585 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false true true false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true X 0 0 2 true false true BE UK false false false false false false false false false false X 6 6 false false false false false false false true false false false false true true true true true true false false false false DE FL X Jennifer Novotney 6692014947 251 Little Falls Drive Wilmington DE 19808 X Mark Boutros President 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Nina Siemiatkowski Treasurer/Secretary 2.0 X X 0 0 0 Anna Eliasson Schamis Director (Began Feb. 2024) 1.0 X 0 0 0 Carl Folke Director (Began Nov. 2024) 1.0 X 0 0 0 Lena Linden Director (Until Nov. 2024) 1.0 X 0 0 0 Meg Tiveus Director 1.0 X 0 0 0 Nils Fergin Director (Began Nov. 2024) 2.0 X 0 0 0 Tsiritsimihena E Rakoto COO (BEGAN FEB. 2024) 40.0 X 64615 0 0 64615 0 0 0 false false false Milkywire AB Sveavagen 49 113 59 Stockholm SW Professional Fundraising Services 424623 1 10991199 10991199 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10991199 0 0 0 4656630 4656630 4961973 4961973 64615 8400 56215 5456 709 4747 4192 2054 2138 43263 7009 36254 424623 424623 1449 799 650 0 3606 585 3021 99 16 83 792 792 1934 313 1621 Dues & Subscriptions 1469 238 1231 Bank Charges 412 67 345 0 0 0 0 10170513 9639585 106305 424623 1055507 1986027 0 0 0 0 440 653 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1055947 1986680 7020 17949 99118 0 0 0 0 7020 117067 X 117345 246382 931582 1623231 1048927 1869613 1055947 1986680 820686 0 X false true true false X 0 0 200325 4649339 10991199 15840863 0 0 0 0 200325 4649339 10991199 15840863 5487753 10353110 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 15840863 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 X 10991199 0 0 10991199 0 0 10991199 10170513 0 0 10170513 0 0 10170513 Schedule D, Part X, Line 2 FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote The Organization has been recognized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as organizations described in Section 501(c)(3).
