PART 2 The Purposeful Investment Landscape

Questions to Ask

Covers how the Climate Funders Justice Pledge aims to increase funding for BIPOC-led environmental justice groups, aligning philanthropic efforts with racial and economic justice to effectively combat climate change.

The Donors of Color Network’s Climate Funders Justice Pledge is included because it documents the acute underinvestment in BIPOC‑led environmental justice groups (noting top philanthropies give only 1.3% of U.S. climate funds) and sets concrete, time‑bound actions for funders—transparent grant reporting, uploading recent grant data, disclosing current percentage to BIPOC‑led groups within three months, and committing to direct at least 30% of U.S. climate giving to those groups within two years—making it a practical resource for Part 2: The Purposeful Investment Landscape and the “Questions to Ask” chapter as a template of specific questions, metrics and commitments donors should use to align capital with racial and environmental justice.
