"As a family we've spent years trying to find and fund the best climate focused organisations, it's time consuming and we only have so many family members to help. Joining Groundswell has supercharged our giving and massively increased our impact. By bringing together other funders, experts, and deep seated relationship in climate advocacy, we feel like our giving is moving the needle and contributing to a better world."
Our advisers bring knowledge across climate, First Nations leadership, community organising and systems change, helping us spot opportunities and make stronger decisions about where funding can have the greatest impact.

History tells us that big change is possible. Every major shift in society has been driven by courageous people who imagined something better, organised others around it, and found the resources to make it possible.
Climate change is no different. To shift systems, we need to organise ideas, people and money.
Philanthropy can be the bridge between the world we have and the world we need. It can move before governments and markets are ready, take risks on new ideas, back courageous leadership, and provide the patient support needed to build movements, prove what works and shift what becomes possible.
That’s where Groundswell comes in. We work with people across the climate movement, combining their insights with expert advice, rigorous due diligence and our giving community to understand where funding can unlock the greatest change.
Since 2020, our community has moved more than $7 million into climate action across Australia.
If your family, foundation or business wants to make a meaningful contribution to climate action, we’d love to explore what your giving could make possible.
We’d love to chat and help you find the right way to get involved.
