Unlocking grassroots climate funding
We’re building the infrastructure to unify, verify and support small-scale projects.
The open registry for real-world climate action
DIY Earth brings real projects into a single, measurable system that connects grassroots action with science and finance.
Project registry
A structured, open record of small-scale projects: practices, evidence, and context made legible.
Rating and verification
Practical MRV methods and transparent scoring across impact and data confidence.
Pooled funding
Early donations that evolve into structured funding rails and, ultimately, investable climate assets.
Ecosystem
Connecting local projects, science and supporters
We sit between people doing the work on the ground and those who want to back them with funding, tools or data.
Project leads and organisers
Add your project, upload evidence, and build a public record of what you are doing. Unlock donations now and better funding options over time as your project data and rating improve.
Individuals and organisations backing climate action
Discover grounded, verifiable projects across themes and geographies. Support them directly and see how their work is scored and tracked over time.
Partners, tools, and data providers
Connect datasets, sensors, services, and research to strengthen the evidence layer. Help identify, support, and promote meaningful action at practical scales.
Coverage
Every bit helps
From building retrofits and community initiatives to agricultural and emissions innovations, our projects come in all shapes and sizes.
Forests and land restoration
Native planting, forest repair and land restoration with survival, canopy and habitat changes tracked over time.
Buildings and retrofits
Work on how buildings constructed, upgraded and operated to meet environmental performance standards.
Energy and storage
Community solar, small wind, microgrids and storage with production, reliability and access metrics where available.
Water and watersheds
Rainwater harvesting, aquifer recharge and wetland systems with flow, quality and resilience indicators.
Oceans and coasts
Seagrass, kelp and coastal protection projects with clear habitat, protection and exposure outcomes.
Food and land use
Regenerative agriculture, grazing and diversified cropping with soil, yield and field condition data where possible.
Circular materials and waste
Reuse, repair and recovery projects with material flows and avoided waste made explicit.
Cities and mobility
Green infrastructure, heat mitigation and mobility projects grounded in real urban constraints and trade-offs.
FINANCIAL-GRADE RATINGS
Clear signal from a noisy world
Our ratings and verification practice turns diverse, bottom-up project data into a structured rating aligned with scientific practice and emerging market standards.
CLIMATE IMPACT
Emissions reduced, avoided or removed, plus long-term sequestration potential wherever methods and evidence allow.
ECOLOGY AND RESILIENCE
Biodiversity, habitat quality and how projects strengthen local ecological resilience under real-world conditions.
COMMUNITY AND CONTINUITY
Local benefit, ownership, governance, and whether projects can sustain and build on their results over time.
RESOURCES AND OPERATIONS
Use of materials, energy and land, and how efficiently projects turn inputs into durable, real-world change.
INNOVATION AND SCALABILITY
Where projects are doing something genuinely new, and whether their approach can be adapted, replicated or combined with others.
DATA CONFIDENCE
Evidence quality, verification level and uncertainty, made explicit instead of buried inside marketing or one-line claims.
SUPPORTERS
Backed by groups who care about real impact
We are gratefully supported by groups who share our long-term view on how to build a more truthful, inclusive, sustainable world.
Let's make it count
Back real work on the ground, and help turn action into investable impact.
