Our story begins in 1997 when The Climate Trust was founded as the very first carbon offset fund in the nation.
For over 25 years, we have operated as a nonprofit leader pioneering carbon market innovations to address climate impact through conservation and good land stewardship. Since our founding, we have advocated for carbon projects that benefit the climate and generate revenue for land stewards. In recent years, we have focused specifically on scaling nature-based solutions for grasslands and forests.
Our history is full of firsts and our work is guided by a team of experts that translate technical details into tangible impacts that benefit people and our planet. To date, we have reduced over 9.8 million metric tons of GHG emissions and have been a trusted voice in carbon markets, conservation, and forestry. We have strong relationships with both landowners and carbon offset buyers who have the power to move the lever through their investments. We also regularly contribute to policy and technical recommendations as an advisor and help carbon registries improve their protocols and methodologies for greater climate impact.
