Hive Fund for Climate and Gender Justice has secured $150.0 million in funding, marking a significant capital injection to advance its mission. The organization operates by raising funds and making grants to groups dedicated to accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy across the US South. Its work centers on justice, power redistribution, and fostering healthier, safer, and more prosperous communities.
The Hive Fund provides flexible, stable funding to over 150 impactful yet historically underfunded grantee partners. These partners are primarily located in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and the Carolinas, regions that collectively contribute nearly a quarter of the nation’s climate pollution. A majority of the grant dollars are directed towards organizations led by Black, Brown, Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Indigenous women and gender-nonconforming people, recognized for their collaborative and innovative approaches.
This substantial funding round will enable the Hive Fund to significantly expand its grant-making capacity and deepen its support for these critical initiatives. The capital will be deployed to further empower leaders who are inspiring communities to engage in creating a more just energy system and building broad support for systemic change. The investment underscores the growing recognition of the need for equitable climate solutions and community-led initiatives.
With this new capital, Hive Fund for Climate and Gender Justice plans to accelerate its efforts to bring about large-scale change, supporting its grantee partners in their work to build a more sustainable and equitable future for the US South. The organization is poised to enhance its impact, driving progress towards a clean energy economy that prioritizes justice and community well-being.
