The India Climate Collaborative (ICC), founded in 2020 by philanthropists and industry leaders, is a first-of-its-kind collaborative operating at the intersection of climate and philanthropy in India. Its vision is to build a low-carbon, resilient India for the benefit of its people and natural environment. It does this by unlocking philanthropic capital, identifying catalytic climate priorities, and creating a connective infrastructure for impactful funding.

We work in partnership with a diverse array of stakeholders, including government agencies, businesses, non-profits, academic institutions, think tanks, and other philanthropic organisations.

Launched in July 2023, the ICC’s “Climate Solutions Platform”, Earth Exponential is a first-of-its-kind digital platform that displays high-impact, ready-to-fund climate projects. Earth Exponential sources and evaluates projects from reputed non-profits. These non-profits have typically spent years working closely with communities to design and implement climate projects with strong development co-benefits. Earth Exponential supports these non-profits in building concept notes and proposals, tailored, but not exclusive to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funders, and then connects funders to these non-profits while helping build capacity for the long-term.
