Aims and activities
Environmental Funders Network (EFN) provides tailored support across the funding community to strengthen their work – whether that’s within our membership network for funders and advisors, or in our forum for fundraisers.
We share knowledge, expertise and research and foster connections. We also work to motivate and inspire those not yet funding environmental causes to give.
The need for strategically-deployed environmental philanthropy has never been greater. Our aim is to give the funding community the knowledge, networks and agency they need to address these key challenges of our time.
How to get involved
You can become an EFN member and enjoy exclusive access to funder-only events, spaces and opportunities. You’ll learn from experts on key environmental and climate issues, connect with other funders and better understand the landscape of environmental funding.
EFN membership is open to foundations, trusts, individual donors and advisors working on, or with an interest in, climate and/or environmental issues. Our members have diverse interests, from the protection of species and habitats to tackling systemic issues to clean air and more.

EFN membership is free. Each year, we ask members to consider paying a membership contribution based on a sliding scale related to total annual environmental grantmaking. This is voluntary and all contributions help EFN continue our work supporting members and the wider environmental sector.
