The Environmental Funders Network is a UK-based network of 200+ foundations, family offices and individual donors supporting environmental causes. It works to increase the amount of financial support made available for environmental causes and to improve the overall effectiveness of environmental philanthropy.

The Bio-Leadership Project’s mission is to change the story of leadership by working with nature. It’s a movement of people and organisations, changing human systems to be more resilient, regenerative, and designed to protect our planet. Evolving as a platform for nature-led progress, the Philanthropy Lab is an initiative we’re very happy to have co-initiated.
