The core — who underwrites the climate & social-action field

A concentrated core of funders underwrites a broad field spanning environment (C), civil rights & social action (R) and science (U). This section profiles the 40 largest intentional funders (DAF conduits and pass-through intermediaries set aside) — $7.5B in traceable 2020–2024 grants — and the 120 organizations most central to the network, ranked by a blend of dollars received and how many core funders share them (the coordination signal). Each funder and org links across the network.
