Organisation Summary

Groundswell is a community of passionate people who fund and power strategic climate action.

Groundswell was co-founded in 2020 by three friends – Clare, Anna and Arielle – to accelerate climate action in Australia.

They started Groundswell because while they could see no shortage of people deeply concerned about the climate crisis and wanting to be part of change, many were unsure about how to make the biggest impact. They could also see there was no shortage of brilliant climate action out there, ready to scale up and deliver important change, but that most organisations were restricted by a critical lack of funding. So, they created Groundswell to join the dots.

Since their launch, Groundswell has grown into a powerful community committed to funding and accelerating strategic climate action in Australia.

In addition to grant making, Groundswell runs a renowned climate fellowship program for philanthropic, business and cultural leaders working to change the game on climate this decade.
