The Environmental Funders Network (EFN) is a UK-based organisation dedicated to transforming environmental philanthropy. Its mission is to increase funding levels, enhance the effectiveness of environmental giving, and support individuals and organisations working towards a thriving planet.

Core Activities

EFN focuses on three main strands of work:

  • Relationship Building: Networking members with each other and with effective environmental organisations.
  • Intelligence Sharing: Aggregating collective intelligence through publications, events, and newsletters.
  • Research: Analysing the funding landscape to help funders give more effectively.

Additionally, EFN coordinates initiatives like the Rapid Response Fund, enabling funders to help environmental organisations respond swiftly to unexpected crises and opportunities.
