We fund leaders and movements targeting the source of the problem.
Our Mission
Equation Campaign funds movements on the ground to keep fossil fuels in the ground. We support place-based efforts to block new oil and gas infrastructure in the US, where industry impacts are high and where climate philanthropy has been historically low.
We raise funds and fast track resources to campaigns led by frontline organizations, investing in the power of communities to protect their rights and homelands, while strengthening their leadership in the growing movement for racial and climate justice.
Our Strategy
Equation Campaign supports strategies that disrupt the influence of the oil and gas industry and builds people power on the frontlines.
Who We Fund
Equation Campaign funds powerful leaders across the country to build a just climate future.
Targeted Funding in a Climate Emergency
Values
We do what it takes to ensure movements stopping oil and gas expansion get the support and resources they need. That’s why we:
We organize, advise, and collaborate with fellow donors in order to increase support and resources to frontline movements.
Mobilize Fellow Donors.
In addition to grantmaking, we provide wraparound services and technical support to meet unique and urgent needs as local and national contexts evolve.
Support beyond the check.
Gas corporations cite “delays from opposition groups” as the most significant threat to infrastructure expansion. We fund the frontline communities stopping them at the source, and the state and national organizations backing them up.
Go where it's most effective.
We robustly fund our grantees to confront the industry and win using principles of Trust-Based Philanthropy, emphasizing general operating and multi-year grants.
Fund to win.
Move money fast.
We fund with the urgency that the science and the climate emergency demand.
