Putting climate action within reach for the Global South.
ROAR Foundation helps communities across the Global South access the climate finance, knowledge and support they need to act.
What ROAR stands for
Our name is our method
Resources
The funding and tools to act
Opportunities
Knowledge and pathways that open doors
Action
Turning ambition into real change
Resilience
Communities built to last
A global, youth-led movement advancing climate resilience and sustainable development.
Across the Global South, the climate finance meant for communities is scattered, complex and hard to reach, so much of it never arrives. ROAR Foundation exists to close that gap.
We pair the energy of a new generation with the tools, knowledge and connections to turn climate ambition into real action, helping communities, institutions and governments access the finance, knowledge and support they need.
A world where every community, whatever its geography or income, can reach the resources it needs to build a climate-resilient, sustainable future.
Four ways we turn climate intent into resilience.
ROAR works across the whole journey, from finding finance to building lasting community capacity.
The finance meant for frontline communities is scattered, complex and hard to reach. We exist to close that gap.
Rooted in the Global South, global in reach
VerdaNet is the ROAR flagship. It connects communities to climate finance.
ROAR is the parent movement; VerdaNet is one thing we do, built to make climate finance reachable.
Connecting communities to climate finance.
VerdaNet brings scattered funds, grants and eligibility criteria into one place, so finding and accessing support becomes simple and clear.
It is an information and knowledge platform, not a financial service.
Funds and grants in one navigable place.
Clear eligibility, in plain language.
Know exactly where and how to apply.
Real progress, in the places that need it most.
Climate finance, made findable for the Global South.
For a young organiser or a local government, the hardest part is often not the application. It is knowing the fund exists at all. VerdaNet now gathers climate funds, grants and eligibility criteria into one navigable place, so communities can move from uncertainty to a clear next step.
We do not do this alone.
ROAR grows through partnerships with networks, institutions and funders who share the goal of a resilient Global South.
There is a place for you in this movement.
Wherever you are and whatever your skills, there is a clear way to help climate resilience reach the Global South.
