Climate Fintech funders

Funding for carbon accounting, climate risk, green finance and disclosure-data platforms. The non-dilutive routes are the EIC Accelerator, Innovate UK, EU Horizon Cluster 4, and increasingly public procurement driven by reporting rules. The organisations listed below are the climate fintech funders behind that picture, each with what it backs, where it operates and how it prefers to be approached.

Funders span innovation agencies, environmental regulators, financial-sector bodies and a large group of foundations funding community and justice work. The foundations in this group are among the most open to unsolicited approaches in the whole directory, and they typically fund organisations and programmes over several years rather than single projects.

This page lists every funder in the Raise Lens directory whose stated focus includes climate fintech. There are currently 28 of them: a mix of public agencies, foundations, development finance institutions, corporate programmes and climate investors. Each profile records what the funder backs, where it operates, whether it is open to unsolicited applications, and the opportunities it has published through Raise Lens.

Funders active in climate fintech include Africa Climate Change Fund (ACCF), African Climate Change Fund (ACCF), African Climate Foundation and 2 others. The mix matters when you are planning a raise: a public agency and a corporate venture arm fund the same climate fintech work on very different timelines, at different cheque sizes and against different eligibility rules, so the right first approach is rarely the same one.

Funder records are refreshed continuously and enriched from each organisation's own published material, so focus areas and application routes reflect what the funder currently says rather than what it said when the directory was first built. Where a funder runs named programmes, those appear as individual opportunities you can track and save.
