An Invitation To Join The EarthX Leadership Circle

As a leader committed to addressing the environmental, energy and economic challenges facing us, we invite you to join a powerful network of high net worth environmental donors, broadly centrist NGO leaders, corporate leaders from strategically significant sectors, small business leaders, and media and campaign strategists. This EarthX Leadership Circle includes prominent funders among those who have already committed $20B in the aggregate to climate initiatives, with $10B more expected soon.

Develop a close working relationship with these select donors, grantees, leaders, and strategists, in private small group discussions, monthly roundtables, semi-annual summits, and an invitation to join EarthxConnect, one-on-one meetings that we will arrange at your request. Our private meetings are held under ground rules that create a safe space for exploring ideas, building trust, and deepening relationships. This unique, direct dialogue with the donors funding and leaders directing the campaigns and initiatives affecting your industry, business or activism can:

• Build common understanding and consensus on the solutions needed for major challenges like climate change, conservation, ocean health and plastic waste solutions
• Identify gaps in funding or support needed for initiatives and organizations focused on developing, advocating, and building stakeholder support for pragmatic, bipartisan solutions
• Foster sharing of insights, contacts, and resources with key solution-oriented groups, as the donors currently do with organizations such as ClearPath, Nature Conservancy, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES), American Conservation Coalition, BridgeUSA, Citizens Climate Lobby and Climate Leadership Council.

We hope you will step forward to join us in bringing together unexpected allies to confront these common challenges across partisan, ideological, and sectoral lines.

Sincerely,

The EarthX Team

Joining you on Zoom or in person will be a community of 15-25 influential donors, NGO leaders, corporate executives, small business leaders, communication specialists and advisors who share a commitment to certain pragmatic energy and climate solutions. Each participant’s resources complement others in the room, so that if two or more participants choose, they can combine their distinctive tools and approaches to advocate solutions they agree upon.
