Bread for the World Institute
Current donation: $125,000
Donations to date: $600,000
Bread for the World Institute ("Bread") is an advocacy organization that urges decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad. Our donation will allow Bread to scale up their advocacy efforts and raise awareness in our government of how climate change makes more people hungry which, in turn, makes our world less stable.
Why They're Climate Smart
Climate change has become a major cause of world hunger, and the US government is no longer playing a leadership role in dealing with the problem. The vast majority of Americans believe that climate change is a serious threat to the US and protecting the environment should be a top priority for the president and Congress. Working through churches, campuses, and other organizations, Bread's nationwide network of concerned citizens will urge members of Congress to take action.
Why They Receive Our Continued Support
Bread brings together innovative social entrepreneurs in climate, agriculture, and nutrition security to advocate in Congress for climate-smart policies to eliminate global hunger, enhance food security, promote sustainability, and expand proven climate-smart technology. We feel this work is imperative, as Congress is threatening to cut funds for climate-related programs at the exact moment they should be expanding.
