Wren is exactly the platform I was looking for! Wren is exactly the platform I was looking for. I've been looking for a platform that allows me to donate to activities that mitigate greenhouse gas emissions over a broad category of projects (including lobbying, carbon capture, nature protection, emissions reductions, etc). You can track where you money goes. You can easily modify your donation amounts and focus. The only downside is the relatively large fraction of donations they keep for their operations. I guess this is the price to pay for a great web interface and all the research and coordination required to find new projects.

Wren explains what they're doing to combat global warming Wren pays organizations to reduce global warming. Naturally, donors want to know how their money is being used, and Wren is very transparent about that. A good amount of the money is spent on marketing but that's because Wren needs to get their story out to grow their system. And it seems to be working: their expenditures are increasing year by year.

I'm actually really impressed I'm actually really impressed with Wren. I'm a born skeptic and have been especially skeptical of anything related to ESG since it's so easy to exploit people's good intentions and poor training for personal gain, but Wren is a truly stand-out project that strikes the perfect balance of transparency and private development. (For example, they tell you all about the projects they're investing in, but the process of figuring out what the org should care about and how to support those ideals is less public (although probably not secret).) This provides you with all the information you might want without being noisy. Additionally, they're quite scientific in their assessment and selection of portfolio projects.This gives me a lot of confidence that my money is not just getting dumped into someone's Lambo. I've been with Wren for almost 2 years now and I can safely and emphatically say go for it.

Playing a Small Part in Wren’s Impact I appreciate the project updates that we receive regularly. Seeing how long-time initiatives are doing and finding out about new ones is lovely. I trust Wren and feel good about playing a small part in the impact they are making.

Way more permanent than planting trees. It's not just planting trees, which can be cut down easily. It's something more permanent - mineral weathering or binding carbon in biochar. Those, who rely only on planting trees, look silly when compared to wren.
