PART I, LINE 2: CLIMATEWORKS PROGRAM STAFF PERFORM DUE DILIGENCE ON PROSPECTIVE GRANTS AND EVALUATE THE PAST SUCCESS AND FINANCIAL HEALTH OF THE PROSPECTIVE GRANTEE. ALL ORGANIZATIONS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A GRANT NARRATIVE PROPOSAL AND BUDGET. PROPOSALS ARE EVALUATED ON THEIR PROJECTED OUTCOMES AND ALIGNMENT WITH CLIMATEWORKS' MISSION AND STRATEGIES. OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION INCLUDES: THE CURRENT YEAR BUDGET; YEAR-TO-DATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; PRIOR YEAR AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; GOVERNMENT-ISSUED TAX STATUS DETERMINATION DOCUMENTATION; A LIST OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AND AFFILIATIONS; AND BIOGRAPHIES OF KEY STAFF INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT. ALL GRANTEES ARE REQUIRED TO SIGN AND RETURN A GRANT AGREEMENT, WHICH STATES THAT FUNDS MAY BE SPENT ONLY FOR THE SPECIFIC CHARITABLE PURPOSES STATED IN THE PROPOSAL. ALL GRANTEES MUST BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE ANTI-TERRORIST FINANCING AND ASSET CONTROL LAWS, REGULATIONS, RULES, AND EXECUTIVE ORDERS. ALTHOUGH NOT LEGALLY REQUIRED, CLIMATEWORKS USES EXPENDITURE RESPONSIBILITY BEST PRACTICES TO MONITOR ITS FOREIGN GRANTS.

DEPENDING ON THE DOLLAR AMOUNT, EITHER THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, THE PRESIDENT & CEO, OR A VICE PRESIDENT APPROVES THE GRANT.

THROUGH OUR PROGRAMS AND SERVICES, CLIMATEWORKS HELPS THE FIELD OF CLIMATE PHILANTHROPY ACT WITH THE AMBITION, URGENCY, CAPABILITIES, AND INTERCONNECTIONS NEEDED TO END THE CLIMATE CRISIS.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: WE COLLABORATED WITH OUR EXPANSIVE NETWORK OF PARTNERS AND GRANTEES TO CONTRIBUTE TO A VARIETY OF ACHIEVEMENTS AROUND THE GLOBE, DRIVING MEANINGFUL PROGRESS ON CLIMATE ACTION. CLIMATEWORKS GLOBAL PROGRAMS: THROUGH OUR GLOBAL PROGRAMS, WE DRIVE INNOVATION AND CLIMATE SOLUTIONS THAT SCALE. OUR PORTFOLIO OF GLOBAL AND TRANSNATIONAL CLIMATE MITIGATION STRATEGIES AND GRANTMAKING HELP FUNDERS MAXIMIZE THEIR PHILANTHROPIC IMPACT. WE SUPPORT CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION EFFORTS FROM EARLY EXPLORATIONS TO SCALED INITIATIVES. WE HELP DEVELOP INNOVATIVE AND HIGH-IMPACT SOLUTIONS, FUND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION, AND SCALE UP THOSE THAT SHOW THE GREATEST PROMISE. 2020 GLOBAL PROGRAMS ACTIVITIES INCLUDED: (I) CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL: WE BOOSTED CARBON REMOVAL EFFORTS WITH NEW INITIATIVES, INCLUDING THE LAUNCH OF OCEAN CDR, A NEW KNOWLEDGE HUB TO SUPPORT OCEAN-BASED CARBON DIOXIDE REMOVAL. (II) FOOD & AGRICULTURE: WE WORKED IN EUROPE, THE U.S., ASIA, AND SOUTH AMERICA TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSITION TO A GLOBAL FOOD SYSTEM THAT IS HEALTHIER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE. (III) ROAD TRANSPORTATION: CALIFORNIA, QUEBEC, AND THE U.K. MEMBERS OF THE ZERO-EMISSION VEHICLE ALLIANCE ALL ACCELERATED THE TRANSITION TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES BY ANNOUNCING PHASEOUTS OF OIL COMBUSTION VEHICLES IN FAVOR OF 100% ZERO-EMISSION PASSENGER VEHICLE SALES BY 2035 OR EARLIER.

THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS ADOPTED MANY OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EARLY ACTION. (VII) POWER: CHINA AND JAPAN ENHANCED THEIR 2030 EMISSION REDUCTION TARGETS, WHILE SOUTH KOREA PUT AN END TO COAL FINANCING AND COMMITTED $35 BILLION TO ITS CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION. (VIII) COOLING: CHINA IMPLEMENTED ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS FOR ROOM AIR CONDITIONER UNITS, AND AS A RESULT, THE DOMESTIC MARKET IS ALREADY ON ITS WAY TO ACHIEVING A 30% EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT. CLIMATEWORKS GLOBAL SERVICES: OUR INTELLIGENCE, COLLABORATIONS, AND GRANTMAKING SERVICES GIVE FUNDERS THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO MAKE THEIR CLIMATE GIVING AS EFFECTIVE AS POSSIBLE. DESIGNED WITH THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF INDIVIDUAL FUNDERS IN MIND, THESE SERVICES ALSO ENABLE THE BROADER CLIMATE PHILANTHROPY COMMUNITY TO OPERATE COLLABORATIVELY FOR GREATER COLLECTIVE IMPACT. GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE: CLIMATEWORKS GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE PROVIDES FUNDERS WITH THE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO BUILD THEIR CLIMATE INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. IT HELPS THEM EXPLORE AREAS FOR CLIMATE ACTION AND IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES FOR GREATER IMPACT AND PARTNERSHIP. 2020 GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: (I) IN SEPTEMBER 2020, CLIMATEWORKS GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE ISSUED A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND PUBLICATION THAT SHED LIGHT ON THE STATE OF CLIMATE PHILANTHROPY. THE REPORT, "FUNDING TRENDS: CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION PHILANTHROPY", OFFERED UNPARALLELED INSIGHTS ON PHILANTHROPIC FUNDING FLOWS FOR CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION, INCLUDING A BREAKDOWN OF FOUNDATION FUNDING ACROSS REGIONS AND SECTORS. NOTABLY, OUR RESEARCH REVEALED THAT LESS THAN 2% OF GLOBAL PHILANTHROPIC GIVING IS DEDICATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION NOT NEARLY ENOUGH TO MEET THE SCALE OF THE GLOBAL CHALLENGE. ALTHOUGH THE FIELD OF CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION PHILANTHROPY HAS BEEN DEVELOPING RAPIDLY, THERE REMAINS IMMENSE ROOM FOR SUSTAINED GROWTH. THE FUNDING TRENDS REPORT ENABLED FUNDERS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WHERE FUNDING IS MOST NEEDED AND WHERE IT IS GOING, MORE ACCURATELY SCOPE NEW STRATEGIES AND REFINE THEIR EXISTING WORK, AND IDENTIFY EMERGING PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. DATA FROM THE REPORT HAVE BEEN WIDELY CITED BY INFLUENTIAL MEDIA OUTLETS WORLDWIDE, HELPING TO DRIVE AWARENESS OF CURRENT FUNDING LEVELS AND THE NEED TO DEPLOY SIGNIFICANTLY MORE PHILANTHROPIC RESOURCES OVER THE COMING YEARS TO TACKLE THIS EXISTENTIAL THREAT. (II) IN ADDITION TO THE FUNDING TRENDS REPORT, CLIMATEWORKS GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE RELEASED 24 PUBLICATIONS AND CONDUCTED 66 TAILORED ANALYSES AND BRIEFINGS IN 2020. AS A SERVICE, CLIMATEWORKS GLOBAL INTELLIGENCE CONTINUES TO LEAD CORE FUNCTIONS AND PROVIDE THE BACKBONE TO A GLOBAL COMMUNITY. OUR TOOLS SYNTHESIZE STRATEGY, GRANTMAKING, AND PROGRESS REPORTING DATA FROM ACROSS THE CLIMATE PHILANTHROPY ECOSYSTEM. OUR UNIQUE VIEW MAKES VISIBLE THE "COLLECTIVE PORTFOLIO" OF CLIMATE PHILANTHROPY STRATEGIES AND INVESTMENTS, ENABLING FUNDERS TO UNDERSTAND HISTORIC TRENDS, CURRENT FUNDING PATTERNS, AND FUTURE PLANS TO MORE STRATEGICALLY ALLOCATE THEIR OWN FUNDING. GLOBAL COLLABORATIONS: BUILT TO SERVE RESULTS-DRIVEN PHILANTHROPY, CLIMATEWORKS LEADS COLLABORATIONS THAT ENABLE FUNDERS TO STRATEGIZE, LEARN, AND EXECUTE NEW AND EXISTING CLIMATE INITIATIVES. OUR SUITE OF BEST-IN-CLASS COLLABORATIONS EMPOWERS CLIMATE FUNDERS TO INCREASE INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE IMPACT. GLOBAL COLLABORATIONS HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2020 INCLUDED CONVENING TWO VIRTUAL MEETINGS OF THE FUNDERS TABLE, AN INFORMAL COLLABORATION OF NOT-FOR-PROFIT FOUNDATIONS DEDICATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION. FACILITATED BY THE CLIMATEWORKS, THE FUNDERS TABLE IS A WAY FOR THESE ORGANIZATIONS TO LEARN FROM AND WORK MORE CLOSELY WITH ONE ANOTHER. OTHER GLOBAL COLLABORATIONS ACTIVITIES INCLUDED THE INDIA CLIMATE PHILANTHROPY LEARNING NETWORK (ICPLN), WHICH CLIMATEWORKS LAUNCH FIVE YEARS AGO TO FACILITATE INCREASED COORDINATION AND COLLABORATION AMONG PHILANTHROPISTS ACTIVE IN INDIA. SUSTAINED ENGAGEMENT THROUGH THE ICPLN IN 2020 CULMINATED WITH AN INDIA DEEP DIVE (IDD) VIRTUAL DISCUSSION IN JANUARY 2021, WITH OVER 80 PARTICIPANTS FROM OVER 50 FUNDERS AROUND THE WORLD. THE COORDINATION AND RELATIONSHIPS NURTURED BY ICPLN PROVIDE A STRONG FOUNDATION FOR FUNDERS TO QUICKLY GET TOGETHER TO RESPOND TO NEW DEVELOPMENTS, INCREASE FUNDING, WORK THROUGH EMERGING CHALLENGES, AND ALSO FOLLOW UP ON RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE IDD.
