Harnessing Capital for Climate Impact via Donations and Investments
Passionate about climate and eager to make a difference with your dollars?
Join us this SF Climate Week for an evening of dialogue and light refreshments, where you'll discover how to strategically direct your dollars to initiatives that drive meaningful climate action.
As the race to net zero ramps up, political winds shift, and federal climate funding is cut, we need smart and effective climate capital now more than ever. We’ll walk you through how to align your donations and investments with climate goals and maximize impact.
Hosted by Giving Green and Carbon Collective Investing, this event will feature two insightful conversations designed to empower you with the knowledge to make your money work harder towards a sustainable, low-emissions future.
Conversation 1 - Giving Strategies for Maximizing Climate Impact Per Dollar
Giving Green's Founder and Executive Director, Dan Stein, will lead a panel discussion with two climate philanthropists—individual donor and Writely and Scalyr founder, Steve Newman, and Younger Family Fund advisor, Nathan Aleman—to explore how to evaluate and maximize the impact of donations.
You'll gain insights into:
Effective climate giving frameworks and methodologies
Research-backed recommendations
The role of climate philanthropy in sustaining progress and systems change
High-impact giving opportunities in the current political climate
Conversation 2 - How to Climate Align Investments with Climate Goals
The second portion of the evening will be a fireside chat with Breene Murphy, President of Carbon Collective Investing, and Dan Chu, Executive Director of the Sierra Club Foundation, about building climate-aligned portfolios and evaluating climate impact investment opportunities. Time will be reserved at the end for audience Q+A.
