Charitable giving to organizations that work to slow climate change have increased in the past year, and many more groups are receiving funds than just a few years ago. But despite the increases, giving from individuals and foundations to climate-related causes remains a stubbornly small percentage of overall charitable giving according, to a new report by the ClimateWorks Foundation.
The jump in giving was significant — 25% over 2020 — and it outpaced the growth of giving overall. Yet contributions to climate philanthropy accounted for just 1 to 1.5% of all giving, according to the report — just $7.5 billion to $12.5 billion out of the $810 billion given to all causes in 2021.
Donors should be recognized for increasing their support, says Helen Mountford, CEO of ClimateWorks. But the global costs for transitioning to a carbon-neutral economy will be in the trillions of dollars. Philanthropy’s few billion dollars are a start but still fall short. “This is nowhere near fast enough,” she says. “We need to do a lot more.”
Giving by foundations increased even more, jumping 40% from 2020 to 2021, reaching $3.1 billion. Much of that was due to new big donors like the Bezos Earth Fund, which gave $519.2 million in 2021.

That’s not charity. These leftists change the definition of everything.
I think Ayn Rand would have something to say about oil companies taking part in the global warming scam. The oil producers in Alberta have an ad bragging about how much they are doing to control climate change.
Is this for or against? /sarc
Easy come easy go, just open the wallet -look good -feel like a player.
What does it matter if the whole scam is a lie destroying the average person’s economic health and millions of birds, causing global warming near the turbines? Doesn’t matter to the donors; they are on to the next gala.
Well, if charitable giving for "Climate Change" were Mandatory it would rise faster ...
“I need to figure out a way to get in on this scam.”
First you’ll need a collection of huge mansions. Then you’ll need a massive luxury yacht in the Med. And of course, you’ll need a fleet of private jets to get to your yacht and mansions. Bonus points for a heli pad on your yacht so you don’t get offended by the smelly people getting driven to the docks.
THEN you can get in on saving the planet from the evils of carbon and make a lot of money doing it...
FOOLS!
PS When you find out, please ping me!
You will also need that fleet of private jets to get you to your conferences at five star resorts where are you discuss the importance of dealing with climate change.
First thing I thought of. Just create a corporation. Do real things like planting trees(fruit trees in your front and backyard). Grow a victory garden. Pick up plastic on the beach and in parks you are taking a vacation in. Video it, and show the videos and ask for donations. Just a buck a week you will say. Raise funds on the net.
There are about 525,600 suckers born every year, right?
Might get something.
We need to prosecute with R.I.C.O. charges the perps running all of these country destroying man made climate change hoax "scientists, "non profits" and NGOs and heavily fine and jail all of the grifters running them.
