Funding a fossil free future.

Equation Campaign resources powerful people across the country fighting for their communities and the homelands they love.

About Our Funding

Movements on the ground are poised to win when they receive the support they need.

Equation Campaign supports efforts to block new oil and gas infrastructure. A majority of our funding supports campaigns led by frontline organizations, where climate impacts are high, and where philanthropy has been historically low. We prioritize historically underfunded organizations – especially those led by Black, Indigenous, and POC leaders – using the very levers that have given the industry its unprecedented power: finance, media, law, and political power. 

Where We Work

We fund at the source of oil and gas expansion

Every successful fight to delay or shut down infrastructure keeps a vital amount of greenhouse gasses out of the atmosphere. We invest in the movement infrastructure necessary to connect local fights to national strategies and campaigns, funding an ecosystem to stop oil and gas. 

Canada

Canada ranks fifth in global production of oil. Their expansion ambitions would flood the market and hook more countries on cheap gas, locking in new demand and threatening any kind of energy transition on a timeline for a safe climate. But Canada’s laws are some of the most protective of First Nations rights in the world.

United States

The US is the number one producer of oil and gas in the world. We specialize in supporting frontline, municipal, and state-level action where there are unique pockets of power and levers of democracy to pull.  We prioritize the “boom” regions slated for industry expansion, which therefore represent the greatest opportunity to mitigate greenhouse gases.

Mexico

Mexico has significant plans to establish itself as a key conduit to move American gas across the globe. Their largest proposed pipeline and export terminal traverses Chihuahua and Sonora provinces, through rural farming and fishing communities threatening surrounding areas and the Gulf of California which, due to its rich biodiversity, is known as the “Aquarium of the World”.
