About Us As a global philanthropy, Climate Breakthrough’s mission is to make an outsized impact in resolving the climate crisis. We do this by supporting extraordinary leaders to pursue their most ambitious, innovative climate endeavors with the Climate Breakthrough Award, a multi-million-dollar, multi-year, flexible grant that empowers our awardees to translate their boldest ideas into transformative climate action that swiftly and justly closes the gap between the world today and a sustainable future.

Our program is designed to give these brilliant...

About Grad Bag Grad Bag was founded in Scarsdale, NY in 2012 as a small grassroots project with the twofold mission to support college-bound students who have historically received less opportunity and to advance environmental sustainability. This is accomplished through collecting, refreshing, and repackaging lightly used dorm room essentials and distributing them to students to ease the financial impacts of beginning their post-secondary living experiences. Since its founding and under the direction of active and engaged founders and board of directors, Grad Bad has expanded its partnerships to 17 college campuses and more than 20 not-for-profit organizations in New York, Connecticut, and Boston.

Grad Bag is welcoming an exciting moment in time in which the Founding Executive Director will step into...
