Donor-Partner FAQs

  • By becoming a Heading for Change Donor-Partner, you will support our mission to catalyze the flow of capital to gender-smart climate solutions, while gaining valuable education and insights to assist you on your own climate and gender investing journey. Whether you participate with a tax-deductible donation of $100 or $1MM, all Donor-Partners become part of an inclusive community dedicated to catalyzing investment at the nexus of climate and gender - as well as getting a front row seat to learn from our due diligence process, pipeline, and unique investment thesis.

    Individuals, family foundations, family offices, community foundations, corporate foundations, and other institutional investors can all become Donor-Partners, and US contributions are tax deductible.

  • It is our intention to build an inclusive Donor-Partner community to share knowledge and best practices on how to invest at the nexus of climate and gender. Heading for Change will share experiences and lessons learned in an open-sourced and transparent process, extending Suzanne’s influence as a potent ecosystem builder. Quarterly newsletters, educational seminars, annual impact reports, tools and resources related to climate-gender investing, and virtual meet-ups to celebrate our work together are all planned.

    Our commitment to openly sharing our investment and grants criteria enables you to leverage our research and analysis in your own investments and amplify our impact together.

    To begin exploring some of the resources and learnings we are compiling for our Donor-Partners and the larger investment ecosystem, please visit our Tools and Resources page. Donor-Partners will also have access to a private portal with more detailed memos and information about our investments (coming in 2024).

  • As this is a tax-deductible charitable contribution, the returns must be recycled back into the Endowment and cannot flow back to the Donor-Partners. All investment returns are channeled back to Heading for Change to continue to advance climate solutions and gender equity through additional fund investments and grants.
