Change on the Ground, Change in the Air
Thanking Our Donors
Philanthropy is the fuel which powers WRI, enabling us to tackle the world’s most urgent environment and development challenges. The impact profiled in this year’s annual report would not be possible without the generous support of WRI’s donors — national governments, multilateral institutions, foundations, corporations, and individuals. We are proud to recognize this broad group of supporters whom share our commitment to creating a more sustainable and prosperous world for all.
Together we raised $182 million in FY22, including several multi-year, multimillion-dollar grants including:
-
A $22 million grant from the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety of Germany to help policymakers in Argentina, China, India, and Indonesia strengthen long-term, low-emissions development strategies in line with national development goals and Paris Agreement commitments.
-
An $8 million grant from The Children’s Investment Fund Foundation to transform China’s food system by promoting green agriculture practices, commodities with supply chains that don’t cause or contribute to deforestation, and reducing food loss and waste.
-
A $5 million grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies and ClimateWorks Foundation to catalyze ambitious, locally led low carbon transitions in China, India, and Africa while establishing linked energy diplomacy engagements among these regions to re-shape energy demand, accelerate technology supply, and ensure equitable access to affordable, reliable clean energy.
-
A $4 million cross-programmatic grant from the Ares Charitable Foundation to build the climate resilience of Indian micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and to set a new sustainability action agenda for equity in global supply chains.
WRI is especially thankful for the unwavering support of our core donors — the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Royal Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. Their collective $6.5 million in flexible core funds ensures not only that we are improving as an organization but also that we are helping expand and lift up the broader ecosystem of partners working together to advance our shared goals.
In addition, we want to recognize our Global Board of Directors, Global Leadership Council, Corporate Consultative Group, Sustainer’s Circle, and many other individuals and family foundations who collectively provided WRI with $8.9 million in unrestricted support in FY22. This important revenue allows us to explore nascent issues, move quickly to seize emerging opportunities, and leverage additional revenue. It also allows us to invest in our staff working across the globe. As we launch into implementing WRI’s new five-year strategy, we invite philanthropists, foundations, corporations, and other donors to join us in growing this critical source of support.
We firmly believe our best days are ahead of us, and we look forward to continuing to partner with our donors to deliver the results we both want to see in the world. Thank you.
(Includes revenue booked between 10/1/21-1/15/23 and older grants still open as of 10/1/21. Recognizes revenue of $1,000+ only)

Krista Kurth Ph.D. is president of the Herbert and Katherine Kurth Religious Foundation and a member of WRI’s Global Leadership Council and a longtime environmentalist. The Herbert and Katherine Kurth Religious Foundation was started by Krista’s grandparents in the 1950s, as a way to give back and foster a legacy of philanthropy, and is now co-run by Krista and her three siblings. Growing up, Krista and her siblings gained a deep appreciation for nature and justice that has guided them throughout their lives. In 2014, Krista and her siblings made climate change a priority for the Foundation, adopting a fossil-free investment policy and supporting a variety of organizations (by invitation only), including WRI.
“I appreciate that WRI is focused on systems change and works with governments and businesses to foster change at the regional and country levels,” Krista explains. “It complements the work of other grass- roots organizations we support, and we need efforts at all these levels if we are going to be successful.”
