Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

WRLD Foundation's mission is to support scientific projects, awareness-raising efforts, educational programs, and other charitable undertakings. Through grant-making and fiscal sponsorships, WRLD Foundation supports nonprofit organizations and projects working to implement the UN Sustainable Development Goals, as defined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, or similar future global agendas.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To support scientific projects, awareness-raising efforts, educational programs, and other charitable undertakings.

  • The Climate Transformation Fund (CTF) is a driving force behind innovative solutions to combat climate change and protect our planet. Our mission is to accelerate the global shift toward a sustainable, green economy with a central focus on achieving net-zero emissions. We strategically channel our resources into pioneering projects across key areas: advancing emerging, untested technologies for long-term carbon capture; supporting advocacy and policy initiatives that drive emissions reduction; and promoting ecologically sustainable practices for nature restoration and preservation. Funding is deployed both as grants to nonprofits and through pre-purchases of permanent carbon removal.

    Expenses $4,438,375 · Grants $4,438,375

  • Nature Transformation Fund (NTF) is dedicated to fueling impactful initiatives that protect and restore the natural world. Our goal is to foster a resilient, biodiverse environment through targeted investments that address critical ecological challenges. We support innovative projects across several essential areas: preserving threatened habitats and ecosystems, promoting sustainable practices that reduce human impact, advancing technologies for biodiversity conservation, and empowering local communities to steward their natural resources. By directing resources toward scalable, high-impact solutions, the Nature Transformation Fund is committed to fostering a future where nature and humanity thrive together.

    Expenses $4,353,080 · Grants $4,353,080

  • The Forests and Landscapes Fund (FLF) is dedicated to protecting and restoring the world's critical forest ecosystems that absorb 30% of global carbon emissions and support 80% of the world's biodiversity. Our mission is to combat the alarming rate of deforestation-equivalent to losing an area the size of Iceland each year-through strategic investments that preserve ecological balance and prevent climate acceleration. We deploy resources across three essential pillars: 1. Planting trees and restoring forests through reforestation of degraded areas from rainforests to mountain ranges 2. Protecting and restoring open landscapes by enhancing ecological health of grasslands, wetlands, and other vital habitats 3. Stopping deforestation and overexploitation through community-led conservation and sustainable land management practices By supporting both large and small organizations committed to forest conservation, the Forests and Landscapes Fund addresses the urgent need to preserve these vital ecosystems that are essential to our planet's survival. Through partnerships with conservation organizations across multiple continents, we work to ensure thriving forests and landscapes that can continue to sustain biodiversity, regulate climate, and support local communities for generations to come

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
