Tracking the Field
The Tracking the Field program highlights connections between environmental and global philanthropy and the relationship between inclusiveness and effective environmental philanthropy.
The Accords on the Future of Environmental Philanthropy
The 2025 Fall Retreat in Santa Ana Pueblo marked the next chapter for environmental philanthropy. Over the course of three days at the Retreat, EGA members and philanthropic leaders collaborated to outline and shape our collective vision of the future of philanthropy that led to the creation of The Accords on the Future of Environmental Philanthropy.
We are seeking bold partners and committed endorsers to amplify and align this effort so that our vision of philanthropy as a part of movement is realized, in real time.
We invite you to read the Accords, and add your endorsement to amplify your commitment to the ongoing practice of just philanthropy in support of people and planet.
“Addressing the climate crisis will require all of us to come together in this fight, and philanthropy must be ready to adequately support communities that are creating just solutions to sustain people and planet for generations to come.”

Tracking Racial Equity
The Racial Equity in Environmental Philanthropy Report examines funding to Black, Indigenous, and all People of Color (BIPOC)−led organizations across the United States. It fills a knowledge gap on racial justice funding, and is especially of interest to foundation trustees, supporting BIPOC-led organizations. Moreover, this report sets a baseline for the availability of demographic data to foster greater transparency within environmental philanthropy. It also includes analysis by issue area, geography and strategic focus on funding to BIPOC-led groups. EGA members are encouraged to download the report today to learn more.
