Heading for Change Investment Toolkit & Guidance

Heading for Change is a donor-advised fund (DAF) making investments and grants to accelerate proven solutions to the climate crisis and advance gender equity. Their flexible toolkit, made of open-source tools, was designed not only to guide and support gender-smart climate investment decisions, but to empower a growing community of investors, advisors, and changemakers who are committed to advancing gender and climate investing. It includes a Scorecard to evaluate investments across five dimensions: Climate, gender, climate & gender integration, organizational strength, and fund terms in order to guide selection, due diligence and post-investment support. Complementing this is a Climate and Gender Due Diligence Questionnaire (DDQ) to assess how funds integrate climate and gender by examining impact, team strength, and community alignment, as well as broader social justice dimensions. To access & download the toolkit and guidance, you will need to fill out their webform on their website.
