PHILANTHROPY NEW ZEALANDSTOCKTAKE OF ENVIRONMENTAL FUNDING3

Introduction

This report provides additional detail to that in the Stocktake of Philanthropic Environmental Funding Research Report. It contains details of the names of funders, how much they spent, and into which environmental categories.

AspecialthankstoourprojectfundersTheTindallFoundation,RātāFoundation,Wellington Community Trust and Foundation North.

Given this is a supplementary report, this document needs to be read in conjunction with the research report. Some information has been restated where we felt it would be essential for context.

Theresearchreporthighlightsanumberofsignificantlimitationsinthefindings. These include the lack of a common reporting framework meaning a variety in the:• availability of the data to assess total funding• level of detail provided, affecting the ability to accurately classify the type

of environmental funding.

Given these limitations, this document is being released to funders and stakeholders, not publicly.

It intends to provide philanthropic funders and government with working information to support future collaboration and next steps in terms of guiding philanthropic funding.

It is also being shared to support future discussion on how to improve the amount and quality of data around philanthropic giving. In order to achieve this, Philanthropy New Zealand welcomes feedback from the individual funders mentioned as to how their activity matches the taxonomy, and how their public recording of environmental funding aligns with our assessment.
