Efforts to increase how much philanthropic funding goes to minority-led environmental organizations are gaining momentum, with one group s push for transparency from the nation’s top climate donors drawing big-name support.
For months, Donors of Color Network, a philanthropic group dedicated to funding racial equity efforts, has asked the top 40 climate funders to disclose what percentage of their funding during the past two years went to organizations led by Black, Indigenous, Latino and other racial minorities, and pledge at least 30 per cent of their climate donations to such groups.
