Supporting Women.
Sustaining the Earth.
Together.
We invest in grassroots conservation initiatives—designed and led by women—that protect nature while supporting women’s rights and well-being.
We support women who protect the planet and uplift each other.
Why?
Only 0.2% of all foundation funding focuses explicitly on women and the environment.
—Selibas (2022)
Almost two-thirds of that funding goes to agriculture
—“Our Voices, Our Environment” Global Greengrants Fund
Only 0.03% of all foundation funding focuses explicitly on women, conservation, and biodiversity.
—”Our Voices, Our Environment” Global Greengrants Fund
Only 4% of all climate funding goes toward nature conservation as a key solution.
—One Earth “Mind the Gap”
Most funding is for project-based work, leaving essential operational needs under resourced. Employee salaries, skill-building, training, and effective project management are chronically underfunded.
More than half of Indigenous, Afro-descendant, and local-community-led women’s organizations have no core funding.

“Philanthropy must stop treating gender equity as a niche cause. It is a central economic, educational, and public health imperative.”
— Inside Philanthropy, July 2025
When women lead, the planet prospers.
-
The evidence is clear: Gender equity is essential to sustainable, resilient futures for both people and nature. When women leaders are empowered, then communities thrive and biodiversity, forests, rivers, and oceans are better protected.
-
When women are supported, the benefits ripple—reducing poverty, improving health and education, strengthening economies, sustaining peace, and uplifting communities.
-
Evidence-based research demonstrates that women’s involvement in peace processes increases the likelihood of achieving peace. Women’s involvement also increases the likelihood that peace will last more than 15 years by 35%.
With the right conditions in place, solutions don’t emerge one by one. They flourish in unison, driving powerful, cascading impact.
Join our community! We look forward to learning, sharing, and solving problems with you, so that we can support women and nature.
Together.
