Trellis Climate’s Lara Pierpoint spoke with Jeva Lange about how Trellis’ donors are facing the increasingly complex landscape for those committed to advancing climate solutions.

Nitricity’s latest project—a FOAK organic fertilizer plant in California—is demonstrative of how Trellis Climate aggregates philanthropic capital for catalytic investments, making it easier and more effective for charitable asset owners to step up.
