Larry Page—Disclosed $66 million in climate grants including $46M to European Climate Foundation
In 2023 tax filings, the Carl Victor Page Memorial Foundation disclosed $66 million in grants to climate and environmental organizations - the first substantial direct grant disclosure in over a decade. This included two $23 million grants to the Stitching European Climate Foundation, $10 million to Brazilian Instituto Clima e Sociedad, $4 million to U.S. Energy Foundation, $3 million to Global Fishing Watch, and $1 million to Clean Slate Initiative. This marked a shift from the foundation's previous practice of routing 99.9% of grants through opaque donor-advised funds.
