Where the money goes

We move funding directly into the hands of young changemakers
and build a pipeline of youth-led climate innovation

73% of funds directly support youth programs

Captain Planet Foundation prides itself on efficient spending to maximize investment in support of our mission – engaging and empowering kids to become the next generation of Planeteers.

In addition to grant dollars and donations, we receive generous in-kind support including office space, contract services, and other goods and services. Including these in-kind donations in our functional spending, 73 cents of every dollar raised goes directly into the programmatic work of the organization.

Real solutions need real investment

Across the planet, young people care deeply about the future of our planet, but too often their ideas, energy, and leadership remain disconnected from the systems where change happens. The Captain Planet Foundation connects these voices into a powerful global movement. We fund youth-led projects, cultivate fearless leaders, amplify youth voices, mobilize resources, and unite partners around a shared mission: a climate-positive future.

“It was an absolute joy working with the Compost Queens and witnessing their vision come to life. Their organization, clear roles, and dedication ensured the project thrived through the summer and was ready for the new school year. Their success is a testament to teamwork, communication, and bringing every stakeholder along on the journey.”

“I would like you to know just how much JOY your worms have brought to our classrooms. I mean sheer, unbridled joy! The worms have catapulted our students into a frenzy of questions, inquiry, and self-directed projects.  We have also been using the updated Captain Planet Website to access lesson plans and websites. It’s great!”
