As a global nonprofit, WRI relies on the generosity of donors like you.
As a global nonprofit, WRI relies on the generosity of donors to continue investing in dynamic research and groundbreaking solutions that can improve people’s lives, protect nature and halt climate change. We aim to transform the human systems driving planetary destruction — including how we manage food, land and water; produce and use energy; and design and manage cities. To enable change at the pace and scale needed, we also work to shift the economic, finance and governance structures that shape people’s decisions and behaviors.
When you give to WRI, you are supporting an international research organization committed to delivering impact and managing for results. WRI has one of the most rigorous and respected review processes among NGOs, which safeguards the quality and independence of our research and recommendations.
WRI consistently receives top ratings from charity evaluators for our strong financial stewardship and commitment to transparency and accountability. Our ratings include a Gold Seal of Approval from Guidestar, four stars from Charity Navigator, and a top-rated A+ from Charity Watch. WRI is also an accredited charity by Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance, meeting all 20 standards for charity accountability.
