The International Philanthropy Commitment is a global movement of philanthropic foundations committed to taking urgent action on climate change. Action is across seven categories: education and learning, commitment of resources, integration, endowment and assets, operations, influencing and advocacy, and transparency. In 2021, we also signed the Canadian version of this statement, the Canadian Philanthropy Commitment on Climate.
Signatories must submit an annual implementation report.
Our progress towards each pillar of the IPCC:
1. Education and learning 
We prioritized education opportunities for our Board and staff and shared learnings with other funders.
2. Commitment of resources
We allocated over $8.54 million to our Climate focus area and supported 76 charitable and non-qualified donees to address systemic barriers to climate mitigation in Canada.
3. Integration
We contributed to new funding at the intersection of climate action and equity, diversity and inclusion. Further, we regularly ask organizations we support how they build equity as an outcome of their climate mitigation solutions.
4. Endowments and assets
We fully divested most of our portfolio from oil, gas and coal assets by the end of 2024. We have also committed to reach net-zero carbon emissions in our investment portfolio by 2050.
5. Operations
We audited the environmental impact and carbon footprint of the Foundation. We are committed to making changes to our operations to further reduce our carbon footprint.
6. Influence and advocacy
We actively support organizations that develop policy recommendations and oversee government relations. We also fund Indigenous–led organizations who work to advance their Treaty rights.
7. Transparency
We publish all funding decisions on our website and share potential opportunities with other Canadian climate funders.
