THE HIVE FUND
Investing for Impact Sponsor, The Hive Fund for Climate and Gender Justice, is a specialized intermediary that raises funds and makes grants to groups that are building power to accelerate an equitable transition to cleaner, renewable energy and rein in dirty energy in the US South, where pollution levels and clean energy opportunities are high and funding levels are low. In partnership with nearly two dozen donors, a broad array of advisors, the Hive Fund provides multiyear, general support to more than 120 grantee partners primarily in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and the Carolinas — states that contribute more than 20 percent of the nation’s climate pollution. More than 75 percent of this funding flows to organizations led by Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Asian American and Pacific Islander women — impactful leaders that have historically been overlooked and undervalued by philanthropy. The Hive Fund has awarded nearly $50 million in multiyear grants that support organizations charting a path for transformational change. These groups are using a range of tactics
banvd strategies to tackle deep-rooted problems and promote proactive climate solutions across the South. The Hive Fund fosters a learning community with other funders to explore strategies to address systemic funding barriers and maximize benefit to grantees.
