What Kye's Climate Action Fund does
Mission
Kye's Climate Action Fund seeks to combat the climate crisis through supporting young people engaging in the fields of science, technology, policy, or activism.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Inspired by kyes legacy, kcaf is focused on supporting talented and courageous young people in their work to fight the climate crisis. We believe that solving the climate crisis requires intense collaboration and diverse perspectives, and that every young person who cares to dedicate their time and energy to this issue should be encouraged to do so. Through a combination of grant funding and professional mentorship, we seek to remove barriers to entry in the climate field and to help young changemakers expand their impact across the climate science, policy, advocacy, and technology fields while building a joyful and inclusive community along the way.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
4 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 73% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of KYE'S CLIMATE ACTION FUND’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
KYE'S CLIMATE ACTION FUND leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 73%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
73% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund KYE'S CLIMATE ACTION FUND.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
73% of KYE'S CLIMATE ACTION FUND's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $20k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from California funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $55k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
