FrontRunners is an Australian organisation that works with athletes, players and sporting organisations to drive climate action through sport.
This Groundswell grant supported FrontRunners to harness the influence of athletes and sporting organisations to build support for climate action. The funding helped mobilise athletes, strengthen player-led climate initiatives, develop campaigns to end fossil fuel sponsorship in sport and advise major sporting bodies on climate strategy. The work used sport’s cultural reach to bring climate messages to new audiences, while helping athletes and organisations turn concern about climate impacts into public advocacy and practical action.


Your donation is pooled with others and directed to the people, organisations and communities helping drive climate progress across Australia.
Every gift is 100% tax-deductible. Monthly giving provides the steady support climate campaigns need to succeed, but every contribution counts.
