Overview

Mission

Ensure systemic resilience becomes the norm and the investments made today enhance global resilience as society transforms towards a net zero future.

What it reported doing in 2023

In 2023, resilience rising and its consortium of organizations achieved significant impact across multiple sectors through a series of initiatives and events. These included hosting high-level roundtables at climate week nyc and coordinating a high-level convening at singapore maritime week to advance corporate and port resilience, delivered by our partners. We also led dialogues at london climate action week and the international risk and resilience conference to address urban infrastructure adaptation and global supply chain threats, and participated in cop28 to co-host sessions on private finance for adaptation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
