The Jeremy and Hannelore Grantham Environmental Trust
Overview
The Jeremy and Hannelore Grantham Environmental Trust is a US-based public charity founded in 2005 by Jeremy and Hannelore Grantham. It operates as part of the broader Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment. The entity's mission is to combat environmental degradation, with a strong focus on climate change. In addition to providing grants, the Trust makes direct venture capital investments in early-stage climate technology companies. These investments are made through its environmental venture capital vehicle, Neglected Climate Opportunities LLC, targeting important yet underfunded climate opportunities. The Trust also acts as a Limited Partner (LP), committing capital to other environmentally focused venture funds.
