Less than 2% of philanthropic funding goes to climate. That's not because people don't care, it's because climate giving feels hard, overwhelming, or like you need rockstar money to participate.  For one year we ran an experiment to get funding moving to some of Aotearoa’s incredible climate organisations, and in September 2026 The Climatics experiment concluded with inspiring results. We will continue to report on the work of the seven organisations this community funded for the duration of their grants as well as share learnings from this experiment.   We’re so proud of what The Climatics achieved in such a short time.

Small gifts. Big impact. That's the magic of collective giving. ![THE CLIMATICS icon](https://theclimatics.org/hs-fs/hubfs/THE%20CLIMATICS%20icon.png?width=253&height=256&name=THE%20CLIMATICS%20icon.png) ### Every dollar to the cause We kept the backstage costs covered by strategic partners, so 100% of tax-deductible donation went straight to the work.  ![THE CLIMATICS icon](https://theclimatics.org/hs-fs/hubfs/THE%20CLIMATICS%20icon.png?width=253&height=256&name=THE%20CLIMATICS%20icon.png) ### Amplifying homegrown solutions This was about more than money. We turned up the volume on incredible climate kaupapa across Aotearoa, and brought attention, resources, and momentum to the work that's already making a difference. ![THE CLIMATICS icon](https://theclimatics.org/hs-fs/hubfs/THE%20CLIMATICS%20icon.png?width=253&height=256&name=THE%20CLIMATICS%20icon.png) ### Systems change focused We did the research so others didn't have to. Our expert curation team made sure all contributions flowed to organisations doing real systems-change work.  ![Two hands - a child and a grown up - touching moss](https://theclimatics.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Two%20hands%20-%20a%20child%20and%20a%20grown%20up%20-%20touching%20moss.jpeg?width=1280&height=960&name=Two%20hands%20-%20a%20child%20and%20a%20grown%20up%20-%20touching%20moss.jpeg) Since August 2025 ## We raised over $185,000 This money has supported seven climate organisations doing brilliant work across Aotearoa. $0 $185,505 PEOPLE POWER ## Our four funding pillars Systems change doesn't happen in a vacuum. It happens when communities are organised, informed, and resourced. When public opinion shifts, political will follows. The organisations we funded don't just reduce emissions. They unlock the bigger changes that make everything else possible. We focus on four strategic pillars: ![THE CLIMATICS icon](https://theclimatics.org/hs-fs/hubfs/THE%20CLIMATICS%20icon.png?width=253&height=256&name=THE%20CLIMATICS%20icon.png) ### Elevate the story Inspire public support and counter mis- & disinformation.
