Create a fairer future

We help lower emissions and tackle inequality

Step 1. Sign up to contribute $5 a week

We’re a nonprofit so 100% of every $5 contribution goes to funding low-carbon projects (after bank and regulatory fees).

It only takes a minute, there is no minimum commitment period and you can cancel anytime.

Step 2. Help fund clever low-carbon projects

Your contributions finance green tech projects around the world. Projects that are proven to reduce emissions but need funding to go ahead.

All our projects are certified by the highest industry standard (see the FAQ for details).

Step 3. Clean up our atmosphere

Each dollar spent on projects saves kgs of carbon emissions from our atmosphere.

It's a highly cost-efficient way to help minimise the climate crisis.

Step 4. Give vulnerable communities a hand

All our projects have a raft of bonus benefits (aka co-benefits) in the communities where they are located e.g. creating jobs, improving health, empowering women, preserving biodiversity etc.

Help those most at-risk build climate resilience.

Step 5. Be part of the collective

Join our unstoppable community of Co-Benefactors living lightly on this planet.

Keep score of every project you make happen, all the carbon you save, and the co-benefits you create on your dashboard.

We are each part of the problem

The clean water project saving lives (and emissions)

In rural Rwanda, thirsty families must cut down trees to boil drinking water, or drink unclean water and roll the dice. This is an area where over 900 kids under 5 die from diarrhoea every year.

We’re helping fund CO2balance’s Rwanda Safe Water project, establishing safe and reliable water sources in the area.

The project has:
