Tracking The Field: Volume 8

This eighth volume of EGA’s Tracking the Field report dives deeply into the environmental grantmaking landscape as reported in 2021. The report provides unparalleled insights on funding priority shifts between 2017 and 2021 and pandemic-related changes surfacing since 2019. The most notable change, this year, is the increase in environmental grantmaking from 2020 to 2021. Regardless of whether you account only for grantmaking by legacy funders or include for new entrants in the space, 2020 to 2021 showed the largest year-over-year increase in environmental giving in Tracking the Field history. This is a potent signal of what is to come and the reality that climate-scale challenges will require marked increase of resources in the form of capital, relationships and information, all at once.
