Grameen Foundation, a long time Tomberg Family Philanthropies grantee, shared this important article with us about the connection between gender and climate change.

According to the article,
"Studies indicate that empowering women could significantly lower global carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Companies with over 30% female board representation have reported lower carbon emission growth rates, reduced energy consumption intensity, decreased greenhouse gas emissions, and less water usage."

The Tomberg Family Philanthropies is pleased to announce our 2023 grants. We are happy to be able to support a number of truly excellent projects and organizations working to improve the world in our four primary funding areas of poverty alleviation, the environment, health and education. We congratulate the following twelve organizations for their successful grant requests. Follow our social media pages for information about each project and organization! We would also like to thank all the organizations that submitted Letters of Inquiry and / or full grant requests. This year we were able to make grants to 16% of the organizations that applied for our assistance. To those organizations that we were unable to help this year, our decision should not be considered an opinion on the merits of your project. We wish you success in obtaining funding from other sources. The mission of the Tomberg Family Philanthropies is to support well run and effective programs that make a difference in the areas of poverty alleviation, the environment, health and education. Our focus is on supporting projects that help their recipients build capabilities themselves that will last far beyond the end of the specific project.
