Application Checklist

Eligibility

• CIFF does not accept unsolicited proposals — organizations must be identified through CIFF's proactive grant-making process or partner networks
• Organizations should demonstrate capacity for systemic, transformative change rather than incremental improvements
• Priority given to regional and local organizations on the frontlines of climate change

Project Scope

• Projects must align with CIFF's climate focus areas: energy transition, urbanization, air quality, industry decarbonization, land use, or super greenhouse gas reduction
• Focus should be on highest-emitting countries and regions where climate mitigation has greatest impact

Constraints

• Evidence-based approaches and measurable outcomes are expected

Historical Context

The $500M pledge was announced in September 2018 at the Global Climate Action Summit in San Francisco, building on CIFF's prior $400M already invested in climate projects. It was part of a $4 billion collective commitment by 28 philanthropic organizations. CIFF's current climate portfolio has grown to $808.1 million, suggesting continued and expanded investment beyond the original pledge period.
