Funding

NewClimate Institute is an independent non-profit organisation. We are financed only through individual projects and do not receive base funding. Project funders include government institutions from for example Germany, Netherlands, Norway, France, international organisations, foundations like the European Climate Foundation, ClimateWorks Foundation and IKEA Foundation, as well as non-governmental organisations and business associations. The five co-founders are the formal shareholders, but they have distributed the responsibilities for governing the organisation among the whole team of employees.
