Case Study: The Co-op Foundation
Carbon Innovation Fund

The Co-op Foundation, through its Carbon Innovation Fund, supports innovative projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions in the food and farming sectors. Since 2021, it has provided £3.5 million in grants to partners worldwide, including key initiatives targeting peatland protection and sustainable agricultural practices. These projects aim to create a low-carbon, community-centered future.

In this case study, we explore how the foundation worked with Impatience Earth to enhance its grantmaking strategy, incorporating flexibility and collaboration into its funding process. We share critical lessons from the project and insights from the Co-op Foundation
