The Climate Justice Resilience Fund (CJRF) provides grants to support women, youth and indigenous peoples to create and share their own climate resilience solutions. The CJRF Fund puts people, their rights and life experiences right at the center of climate action. CJRF combines funds from private foundations and philanthropists. To date, our main grant fund has received funding from the Oak Foundation, The Kendeda Fund, the Robert Bosch Foundation and Mackenzie Scott. Since its inception in 2016, CJRF has pooled $25 million to benefit more than 40 large grant partnerships around the world. CJRF has also hosted several initiatives to support funder education and collaboration on climate justice, and in 2021 launched a unique partnership with the Scottish Government on re-granting for climate loss and damage.
In 2022, CJRF shook up traditional philanthropic power structures by announcing a new board of directors. This practitioner-led board replaced our previous funder-led board and will guide the CJRF in grantmaking decisions on important topics such as climate justice, loss and damage, and climate resilience. The board will also determine the strategy and priorities of the fund for the future. You can learn more about this change on our blog.
