Environmental Funders Network works to transform environmental philanthropy in the UK: increasing funding levels, improving effectiveness and supporting people and organisations helping to create a thriving planet.

The Bio-Leadership Project’s mission is to change the story of leadership by working with nature. It’s a movement of people and organisations, changing human systems to be more resilient, regenerative, and designed to protect our planet. Evolving as a platform for nature-led progress, the Earth Funding Lab is an initiative we’re very happy to have co-initiated.
