Sequoia Climate Foundation is a private foundation based in Irvine, California.

We were founded in 2020 as it became clear that the scope, pace, and complexity of the climate crisis required a targeted philanthropic response.

Our grantmaking leverages climate science to accelerate the energy transition across geographies and sectors. Those who are most vulnerable are already being affected by climate change, and those with no voice — including future generations — demand that we act with speed and at scale.

Sequoia and its grantmaking operations are committed to bolstering the urgent work of the Foundation’s grantees first and foremost. Together with our grantees and partners, we hope to build a world powered by clean energy, where all people are protected by policies that have averted the worst effects of climate change.
