Transformative change through
Confluence Institute helps rural communities respond to climate change and improve livelihoods in East Africa and the U.S. Interior West. Through unrestricted funding, technical assistance and shared learning, we support locally led organizations that are meeting the real and changing needs of their communities.

We support grassroots ingenuity that builds resilient rural communities where people and nature thrive.

We believe in engaged philanthropy that honors and amplifies local vision.

We partner with locally led organizations to support solutions that advance community resilience to climate change and enhance rural livelihoods. We fund general operating support and assist organizational growth through training, knowledge exchange and new connections.

We work with local experts to foster vibrant grassroots partnerships. Our partners grow their organizations and impact by self-directing resources to where they need them most. As they expand their network of doers and donors, they leverage new connections to share knowledge and identify opportunity.
