Our Approach

In addition to funding the work of women who are at the forefront of protecting and safeguarding Mother Earth, we increase awareness about the vital role that they play in climate solutions and mobilize daughters around the world to take proactive steps to protect our planet.

Our approach is rooted in groundbreaking scientific research by One Earth, which has identified three crucial human-led efforts that we can and must make to combat climate change: protecting and restoring lands, waters, and wildlife populations, as well as promoting regenerative agriculture and renewable energy. 

Daughters for Earth is committed to providing essential funding to women who are already making a difference in these three areas.

Meet the Advisory Circle that helps identify projects and the Wise Daughters Council that selects our annual grantees. 

Solutions Backed by Science

Mother Earth needs us to take immediate actions to protect and restore it. Luckily we know how. We have the solutions to the climate crisis right now. Our scientific priorities are based on our partner, One Earth’s groundbreaking research on solutions to solve climate change. One Earth spearheaded scientific research revealing the three shifts we can and must make to fight climate change.

Daughters for Earth actively seeks out and backs women-led climate solutions, focusing on nature conservation and restoration, regenerative agriculture, and renewable energy. We honor and celebrate the women’s contributions, provide them with financial support and invite every daughter across the globe to be part of the solution.
