Rainmatter Foundation

The climate crisis needs urgent, innovative and collaborative action more than ever before. Over the last three years, Rainmatter Foundation’s work has been around supporting positive climate action, a healthier environment, and the livelihoods associated with them. Our approach at the foundation has evolved to build deeper, collaborative, intersectional, immediate and landscape-rooted solutions to the climate problem. 🌿 We work on building lasting, meaningful partnerships in the climate ecosystem and supporting and collaborating with organisations, individuals and causes working in different areas of an entire spectrum through grants, fellowships and investments. If you are an individual or organisation who is working towards solving for the climate crisis, write to us at [email protected]. Our team will review your email and connect you if your work aligns with our current goals. 🤝🏻 Click the link below to know more on our website. 👇 https://rainmatter.org/ Sailee Rane Sathyanarayanan Sankaran Vikas Hosoor Sameer Shisodia #whatsnew #climate #climatechange #climatemitigation #solutions

Every year, Dasra Philanthropy Week brings together funders, nonprofits, and partners to spotlight urgent development challenges and catalyse collaborative action. At this year’s edition, Rainmatter Foundation joined conversations on how communities and ecosystems are shaping pathways to climate resilience. From the coast to the built environment, creative cultures to green economies, our speakers spoke and learned alongside those working to create more equitable and resilient futures. What shifts in collective action can help build more equitable and resilient futures? Share your thoughts in the comments. #dasraphilanthropyweek #rainmatterfoundation #dpw2025

What if nature could take you to court? In New Zealand, a mountain can. To the Māori people, Taranaki Maunga isn't just land, it's an ancestor. By granting it legal personhood, the law now recognizes what Indigenous communities have always known: nature isn't separate from us. With the climate crisis deepening, could this inspire a new way of protecting the natural world? Follow The Climate Brief for jargon-free climate updates, explained in under 10 minutes.

#worldwildlifeday | Nature sustains life, and every species plays a vital role in keeping its delicate balance. This World Wildlife Day, we celebrate 22 partners working across ecosystems — forests, rivers, grasslands, and coastlines, to protect biodiversity and restore balance between people and the planet. To care for the wild is to care for our shared future, one that depends on thriving ecosystems, rich biodiversity, and the communities working to protect them. Conservation needs long-term support, resources, and collective action. As we navigate a changing climate, investing in nature is investing in life — in cleaner air, flowing rivers, fertile soils, thriving wildlife, and resilient communities. Here's to those who care for the wild, every day. 🌿 A Rocha India, Wildlife Conservation Society, The Shola Trust, Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment, Holématthi Nature Foundation, Dakshin Foundation , ClimateRISE Alliance, Youth Conservation Action Network, Farmers for Forests (F4F), Sahjeevan Organization, Uttarayan Wildlife, The Lantana Collective, Centre for Wildlife Studies, Palluyir Trust for Nature Education and Research, Nature Conservation Foundation, Ecological Restoration Alliance, Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy, Wetlands International, Gurukula Botanical Sanctuary, Biodiversity Collaborative, Hume Centre for Ecology and Wildlife Biology

#WorldWildlifeDay | Olive Ridley turtles have outlived dinosaurs, but will they survive us? 🐢 The tragedy unfolding on Tamil Nadu's shores reminds us that conservation isn't just about safeguarding a species, but protecting the balance that holds life together. Over 1300 endangered Olive Ridley turtles have washed ashore this nesting season, many trapped in illegal trawler nets. Investing in conservation means investing in stronger protections, better research, and the ecosystems that both wildlife and people rely on.
