The Sustainable Finance Coalition FINDS, DESIGNS and MOBILISES tailormade finance solutions for nature. We find the right place, with the right people and connect them to the right finance solution.
The Coalition believes in two fundamental things in addressing the finance gap for nature: financing nature is not a hit-or-miss exercise, it requires a clear model to identify the most viable finance solutions and design them for tailored impact, and financing nature cannot be undertaken by a select few, it requires many doers and an all hands-on-deck approach.
The Coalition’s approach is based on collaboration – with conservation NGOs, community organisations, corporate collaborators, government partners, research and academic institutions and the donor community to ensure diverse voices and perspectives are brought together in developing tailormade finance solutions for nature and people.
The Coalition was co-founded in South Africa in 2019 by Wilderness Foundation Africa and WWF South Africa and is now a stand-alone legal entity with a growing team and growing impact across the African continent.
The Sustainable Finance Coalition is a registered NPC, NPO and PBO.
The Coalition is led by Founder and CEO, Candice Stevens, and supported by a Coalition Core Team. Our diverse and innovative Team hails from across Africa offering multi-disciplinary expertise and experience. The delivery of our Finance Model is enhanced through collaboration with our Finance Doers at Scale, our Finance Solution Drivers, and our Specialist Contributors. We are supported in our efforts by our Board and a voluntary advisory Council comprised of thought leaders from 19 sectors. The Coalition thanks and acknowledges the collective action required to design finance solutions for nature at scale from across the many parts of our Finance for Nature Ecosystem, and the role of our donors, funders and investors.
