Project Drawdown awarded $300,000 from the Gerald L. Lennard Foundation

Project Drawdown is thrilled to announce a US$300,000 grant, to be awarded over three years, from the Gerald L. Lennard Foundation. 

This latest award from the long-time supporter will go toward Project Drawdown’s storytelling and private capital engagement programs, allowing each to better empower their audiences to help stop climate change as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible. 

“Storytelling is an essential tool for instilling hope and inspiring action in response to climate change,” says Project Drawdown Director of Storytelling and Engagement Matt Scott. “We are so grateful for the continued support of the Gerald L. Lennard Foundation as we evolve and deepen the reach, influence, and impact of Drawdown Stories through exciting new projects like the Global Solutions Diary, ”

 “We launched the Drawdown Capital Coalition to connect funders and private sector partners with the most urgently needed climate solutions,” says Capital Coalition Manager Hannah Henkin. “This incredibly generous support from the Gerald L. Lennard Foundation will help us better serve our members as we seek to close the gap between which solutions are most important and which are best funded.” 

“The Gerald L. Lennard Foundation is pleased to join a community learning together to shape current challenges into opportunities for a sustainable future,” says Donna Lennard, a director of the Gerald L. Lennard Foundation. “We are inspired by Project Drawdown's expertise and optimism.”
