Charities selected based on Founders Pledge climate research. Focus on neglected areas with high leverage — policy influence, carbon removal, and tropical forest protection.
Clean Air Task Force
Policy and technology to decarbonize the global economy
Why we chose this
Founders Pledge rates CATF as one of the most cost-effective climate organizations. They work on neglected areas including advanced nuclear, methane reduction, and industrial decarbonization. Their policy wins have had outsized impact relative to their size.

Rainforest Trust
Protecting tropical forests and biodiversity through land conservation
Why we chose this
Rainforest Trust has protected over 43 million acres of tropical habitat. Tropical deforestation accounts for roughly 10% of global emissions, and forest protection is one of the most cost-effective carbon interventions available. They operate at very low overhead.
