The funding community for the planet.

Environmental Funders Network works to transform environmental philanthropy in the UK: increasing funding levels, improving effectiveness and supporting people and organisations helping to create a thriving planet.

Who We Support

New Givers

New to green giving? We’ll help you get started. Whether you want to start funding environmental initiatives or want to develop your existing giving, we can provide support, make connections and share knowledge and resources on effective approaches to tackling environmental issues.

Funders

We help environmental funders make sure their giving is as effective as possible. Through events, research and networking, you will learn about key issues, approaches and best practices, connect with other funders and better understand the landscape of environmental funding.

Advisors

More and more wealth-holders want to use their resources to take environmental action and be part of solving the environmental crisis. We can help support you and your clients to get started with funding environmental initiatives or develop their existing giving.

Fundraisers

We support fundraisers and environmental groups to be as effective as possible. Through our Green Fundraisers Forum, learning programmes and research, we help those in the environmental sector bring in more funds, strengthen their communications and improve their resilience and wellbeing.
