This #givingseason, your generosity can go 52x further! 🤯 Until Dec 31, donations to Founders Pledge operating expenses will be matched up to $750,000. Imagine the impact! 🚀

📊 Dive deeper into the stories behind these numbers and explore the full Rapid Response Fund Impact Report here: www.founderspledge.com/programs/rap...
❤️ 4,500+ lives projected to be saved through emergency grants.
This is the power of flexible, fast-moving philanthropy — and a reminder of what we can achieve together.
🤝 1,300+ donors came together to act quickly and collectively.
Each one played a part in sustaining life-saving work when the stakes were highest.
🌍 13 programs around the world received vital support.
From malaria prevention to vaccine delivery, rapid funding meant that high-impact work never stopped — even when government support did.
💸 $13.1 million raised and deployed in just six months.
When urgent needs arise, philanthropy can’t wait — and this community proved what’s possible when we move fast.
🌍 We’re excited to share the results of our Rapid Response Fund — launched earlier this year with The Life You Can Save
to keep critical global health programs going amid sudden funding cuts.
Here’s what this community made possible ⬇️
Philanthropy has a rare window to shape the future of clean, firm power — but only if we act now.
Read our new analysis on why nuclear is one of the most overlooked opportunities in climate philanthropy:
👉 Three Reasons for Increasing Nuclear Philanthropy
www.founderspledge.com/news/triplin...
3️⃣ Robustness
Nuclear transcends politics, driving decarbonization even when policy stalls.
2️⃣ Meeting the Moment
Momentum is shifting: governments are pledging, the World Bank lifted its nuclear ban, and demand is rising.
More momentum = more ways philanthropy can shape nuclear’s future.
1️⃣ Neglectedness
For every $1,000 in climate philanthropy, only $1–$2 supports nuclear.
This means many high-impact projects go unfunded — and huge opportunities to accelerate clean, firm power are being missed.
We believe nuclear is one of the most undervalued opportunities in climate philanthropy.
Here are three reasons why funders should pay attention — and how philanthropy can make a difference. ⬇️
Governments and major companies are committing to triple nuclear power by 2050.
But philanthropy? Still lagging — with <2.5% of clean electricity funding going to nuclear, one of the most promising tools for deep decarbonization. ⚛️
Since 2018, we’ve invested $10M+ to help change that. 🧵👇
