Founding Managing Director
Greg Bennett oversees implements the foundation's core mission by connecting with investors, assessing potential investments and facilitating introductions across the Shade Tree network.
The Shade Tree Scientific Advisory Council comprises a diverse group of experts who provide valuable insights and guidance to inform our grant-making decisions. This network of advisors includes leading researchers, policymakers, and practitioners from various disciplines related to climate science and environmental policy.
Their collective expertise helps us identify promising research directions, evaluate potential grantees, and ensure that our funding aligns with the most pressing needs in the field of climate change mitigation and adaptation. The advisors listed below represent a range of institutions, including universities, research centers, think tanks, and government agencies, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to support our mission of advancing innovative climate solutions.
We're not looking for charitable organizations, we're looking for innovative technical teams that need fuel to reach escape velocity.
