Our Beliefs
We believe in women
We believe those on the frontlines of climate change and biodiversity loss should hold the answers to addressing these crises
We believe women can be trusted
We believe women know how to protect the Earth
We believe women create durable solutions
We believe women are geniuses and solve problems
We believe in women’s leadership
We believe that by supporting grassroots projects designed by and led by women, we will better protect nature and address climate change, while simultaneously uplifting women.
Our Strategy
By raising significant capital and directing it to priority areas, we aim to 1) support women leading women-designed and women-led solutions to protect biodiversity, forests and rivers, 2) scale women’s projects and ideas, 3) connect women leaders with each other, 4) amplify awareness of women-designed women-led projects so that their ideas will spread and their projects will become self-sustaining and exponential.
Support
Because women working on the frontlines of climate change and biodiversity loss continue to be massively underfunded and because the majority of funding goes primarily to agricultural development and food security, we aim to channel funding to women designing and leading grassroots projects that protect biodiversity, forests, rivers and oceans, while simultaneously uplifting women.
Scale
There are already innovative, strong women who have demonstrated their capacity for systematic change through implementing projects protecting nature. Despite their successes, many of these women are still struggling to find the funds to keep their projects going. To scale what women are already doing to protect the Earth, we’re going to need more funding and more collaboration. In addition to seeking new ideas and new partners, we will fund women with proven track records in nature’s protection with the goal of scaling their results.
Connect
Everything in history, from the Chipko movement in India, the Greenbelt movement in Kenya, and the global #MeToo movement, demonstrates that women are at their most powerful when they work together. We are investing in our grantees financially, but we also support them by connecting them with other donors and opportunities to learn and share with each other. We do this in deep partnership with our grantees, connecting them with each other to share lessons learned. We also do this by connecting our grantees to other donors, with opportunities, with other women working on similar projects, and with larger existing women’s networks. We believe that in connecting women, we can help to reinforce their missions.
Amplify
How can projects led by women receive more support when we don’t know about them? As one of the key strategies of the Superbloom fund, we are going to highlight successful projects in our reporting to donors, outreach material, partnerships, and media. We will draw on our storytelling skills to get the word out.
