About Us

Hive Fund raises funds and makes grants to groups working to accelerate the transition from dirty to clean energy in ways that center justice, redistribute power, and create healthier, safer, and more prosperous communities. We focus our grantmaking in the US South — a region whose high pollution levels, abundant opportunities for clean energy expansion, and legacy of environmental justice leadership make it critical for global climate progress. 

In partnership with more than 30 donors, a broad array of advisors, and 10 full-time staff, Hive Fund provides multiyear, general support to more than 150 grantee partners, primarily in Texas, Louisiana, Georgia, and the Carolinas — states contributing nearly a quarter of the nation’s climate pollution.  Nearly three quarters of this funding flows to organizations led by Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Asian American and Pacific Islander women and gender non-conforming people — impactful leaders that have historically been overlooked and undervalued by philanthropy. Our flexible and stable funding helps groups build people, economic, and cultural power to achieve and sustain wins and build momentum for increasingly ambitious and just climate action.
