Quick Start Guide: Reimagining Reporting Initiative
This is a high-level overview that quickly orients readers to the vision behind RRI and three core approaches: the Guiding Principles, collective learning conversations, and shared reporting and how these can improve reporting, reduce burden and strengthen collective learning.
Guiding Principles
Quick Start Guide: Guiding Principles
A concise overview of how funders can begin using the Guiding Principles to reduce burden on grantees and accelerate collective learning. It explains what alignment looks like in practice and offers a straightforward process for self-assessment, behavior change, and continuous improvement.
Guiding Principles for Climate Philanthropy
Based on extensive landscape research across the climate philanthropy ecosystem, this set of six core principles is designed to reduce transaction costs and strengthen strategic learning between funders and grantees. It provides a clear standard for more respectful, efficient, and mutually beneficial information exchange and is an essential reference for any climate philanthropy actor seeking to improve learning, evidence sharing, and collective strategy.
Shared Reporting
Quick Start Guide: Shared Reporting
This guide outlines how funders can replace bespoke narrative reports by accepting a shared annual report that grantees can submit to all their funders. It provides a clear pathway to reducing reporting burden, increasing efficiency, and enabling more meaningful learning for grantees and the funders supporting their work.
Guidance on Developing Actionable Insights
This guide helps funders, regranters, and grantees move beyond surface-level reporting to generate deeper, context-specific insights about how change actually happens. It offers clear frameworks, examples, and reflection prompts to strengthen collective learning and sharpen strategic decision-making across the climate ecosystem.
Collective Learning Conversations
Quick Start Guide: Collective Learning Conversations
This short guide introduces a streamlined alternative to traditional narrative reporting—collective learning conversations—where funders and grantees jointly reflect on outcomes, challenges, and insights. It outlines how to set up these conversations, prepare effectively, and capture shared learning.
