COALITION FOR RAINFOREST NATIONS
The Coalition for Rainforest Nations (CfRN or the ‘Coalition) assists tropical governments, communities, and peoples responsibly manage their rainforests. Healthy rainforests protect against a changing climate, generate needed biodiversity, and provide safe habitats.
Launched by Coalition members in 2005, the United Nation’s REDD+ Mechanism, designed to incentivize conservation and contribute to the battle against climate change, now includes around 90% of the world’s remaining rainforests.
The Founders Pledge has concluded that the Coalition for Rainforest Nations is one of the most impactful charities in the environmental space. “Amongst all the organisations evaluated, CfRN stands out because of outsized leverage of their presence at key international negotiations grants them. As an example, they were instrumental in securing an agreement on forestry in the Paris Agreement in 2015”.
EQUAL JUSTICE INITIATIVE
EJI is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.
Founded in 1989 by Bryan Stevenson, a widely acclaimed public interest lawyer and bestselling author of Just Mercy, EJI provides legal representation to people who have been illegally convicted, unfairly sentenced, or abused in state jails and prisons. EJI challenges the death penalty and excessive punishment and helps provide re-entry assistance to formerly incarcerated people.
EJI works with communities that have been marginalized by poverty and discouraged by unequal treatment. They are committed to changing the narrative about race in America.
THE TREVOR PROJECT
The Trevor Project was founded more than two decades ago to respond to a public health crisis impacting LGBTQ youth — LGBTQ young people are more than four times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers, and suicide remains the second leading cause of death among all young people in the United States. In 2019, The Trevor Project research team published the nation’s first estimate of LGBTQ youth considering suicide in partnership with leading experts from across the country. This ground-breaking research showed that over 1.8 million LGBTQ young people in the United States consider suicide each year.
The Trevor Project has become the leading global organization responding to the crisis of LGBTQ youth suicide. They have grown from a 24/7 phone Lifeline reaching several thousand youth per year, to a preeminent resource for LGBTQ youth in crisis. The Trevor Project has also launched on-demand digital services for youth to reach out 24/7 over text and online, as well as TrevorSpace, the largest safe space social network for LGBTQ youth to connect — not just in the United States, but in over 100 countries across the globe.
