ICLEI appreciates the generous support it receives from many supporters including private foundations, corporations, governmental agencies and individuals. Without the contributions made by many, ICLEI would not be able to serve local governments and support their climate protection and sustainability efforts.

There are many options for donating funds to ICLEI with a guaranteed return in reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and promotion of sustainable communities. Contributions to ICLEI U.S.A. are fully tax-deductible as charitable contributions, as allowed under the law.
