Who We Are

GreenCheck is a youth-led nonprofit with a global presence. We are a movement, a donation platform, a resource hub, and the perfect space for anyone looking to get involved in climate action efforts around the world!

Whats the Issue?

Grassroots organizations leading climate and social justice efforts from Most Affected Peoples and Areas (MAPA) face systemic barriers to accessing critical resources such as funding, networking opportunities, and capacity-building support. Even when resources are available, they are often delivered in ways that are ineffective, misaligned with community needs, or embedded in harmful, colonial frameworks. As a result, resources often fail to reach or meaningfully empower those closest to the frontlines of the climate crisis.

Mission & Purpose

Our mission is to advance global climate justice by serving as a grassroots-centric intermediary and climate ally incubator. We redistribute resources to community-led climate initiatives and build international communities of solidarity, ultimately empowering local communities to reach their goals.

We work to shift the balance of power in the climate movement by supporting grassroots groups directly, with a commitment to building long-lasting communities of support.

Vision

A world where climate-impacted communities have equitable access to resources, autonomy in shaping their futures, and the power to lead a just transition—supported by a global ecosystem rooted in solidarity, justice, and mutual care.

Meet The Team

A small note on our story: GreenCheck was first dreamt up by co-founder Bev in the fall of 2020. The five co-founders then came together under the Global University Climate Forum to brainstorm a project that would then turn into GreenCheck. As students taking part in climate projects and environmental movements on campus, we asked ourselves what was lacking in the climate movement and why was it so hard for people to get involved. We agreed we needed two things: to redirect more resources to the changemakers on the ground and better climate allies. Finally, in July 2021, alongside friends and peers at Yale-NUS College and Yale University, GreenCheck was born…
