A major part of Climate Defiance’s funding comes from Climate Emergency Fund (CEF), a nonprofit organization that channels money to groups engaged in climate activism. CEF also funds Sunrise Movement, Extinction Rebellion, New York Communities for Change (NYCC), and Just Stop Oil. ^22 Donors to Climate Emergency Fund include former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Onward Together, liberal activist Abigail Disney, and oil heiress Aileen Getty’s Aileen Getty Foundation. Getty also sits on the CEF board. ^23

The Climate Defiance donation form and pledge form are published and managed by the Action Network, ^24 an open platform for left-of-center organizations that have included the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Women’s March, to recruit, fundraise, and circulate petitions “for progressive causes.” ^25
