Our 2025 Annual Report captures a year of deepened strategy, expanded grantmaking, and continued experimentation in how philanthropy can move power. In our third year, The Carmack Collective deployed $1.5M to frontline organizers, cultural workers, and storytellers working to dismantle fossil fuel power and build the conditions for a just transition. The report highlights our ecosystem approach—linking movement building, culture change, and trust-based funding — and offers a closer look at the partners and practices shaping our work as we look ahead to increased grantmaking in 2026.
