FUNDING PARTNERS
Achieving the scale of power the environmental movement needs to address the challenges of this moment will require a philanthropy-wide effort rooted in understanding that a powerful collective movement will be indispensable to the success of any one effort.
What we offer
As a collaborative fund and field catalyst built by funders and movement leaders, Mosaic is uniquely positioned to drive investments that catalyze and strengthen movement power across climate, conservation, and environmental health and justice. A recent Bridgespan report highlighted collaborative funds as an essential part of the philanthropic ecosystem, moving faster, smaller, and more flexible grants to the field. Mosaic helps our funding partners increase their impact and scale by pooling resources and investing in ways that cross silos and benefit the full environmental movement ecosystem.
Pooling of funding and coordinating aligned funding from across silos to make grants that amplify the impact of philanthropic investments system-wide. Our laser focus on funding connective tissue enables greater innovation, collaboration, alignment and effectiveness of environmental and climate advocates at all levels, from the local to the national.
Facilitation of collaborative, cross-sector leadership for the movement through our Leadership Council and an open grantmaking process that catalyzes collaborative projects and relationships;
Specialized knowledge of field needs rooted in data and expertise of diverse movement leaders that informs Mosaic’s grantmaking and other philanthropic, governmental, and civil society efforts.
Rigorous learning and evaluation process that helps identify the most powerful levers for advancing climate progress and informs effective grantmaking practices field-wide.
"All of our research indicates one key truth: field catalysts are among the highest-leverage investments philanthropy can make when it comes to equitable systems change."
