How Decarbon8-US Works
- You make a charitable donation of any amount to Realize Impact to support Decarbon8-US.
- The Decarbon8-US Fund invests contributions in early-stage companies aligned with decarbonization priorities. Each year, the Fund focuses on a different decarbonization sector. In the spring, entrepreneurs are invited to apply for funding. We engage investor and sector expertise to lead a rigorous selection process. The most promising 3-4 cleantech companies from the pool of applicants receive funding.
- The winning cleantech companies use the funds to help transform our economy and create a more sustainable world!
- When the companies exit, returns on investments from donations under $20,000 are automatically reinvested into the Fund, magnifying their impact and uplifting more innovative solutions in subsequent rounds! Returns on investments from donations above $20,000 may be reinvested in the Fund or allocated to a donor-advised fund or public charity.
