Climate Change FAC
To address the consequences of climate change, the Climate Change Fund Advisory Committee is focusing on two energy-related initiatives that offer significant, efficient, and cost effective reductions in greenhouse gas emissions:
increased energy conservation and efficiency; and,
the development of clean and sustainable technologies.
While we are not accepting unsolicited proposals at this time, if you are working in our focus areas and are interested in discussing your work, please contact us via email at nmacphee at lairdnorton dot org.

Climate Change Fund Advisory Committee (“FAC”) of the Laird Norton Family Foundation. Grants Awarded: The FAC launched its first year of the program through an invitation-only process which started in early January, 2008 and led to a first round of grants in June, 2008. The FAC will make no more grants in 2008. Throughout the balance of 2008, the FAC will evaluate its approach and strategies and will post information about its process for 2009. It is likely the FAC will continue with its “invitation only” approach. |
