Kye's Climate Action Fund
Who We Are
Kye’s Climate Action Fund (KCAF) is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in honor of Kye Moffat, a passionate geologist, climate activist, brother, son, and friend.
During Kye’s 25 years, he had a superpower for uplifting others and inspiring them to take action. He focused this unparalleled energy on addressing the climate crisis. He often remarked that “humanity spends too much time talking and too little time making change.” Still, he was optimistic that the right mix of science, innovation, policy, and grassroots action could help save the planet from the worst effects of climate change.
Kye always chose to inspire with optimism and excitement rather than fear, and we hold ourselves to the same standard. Rather than being solely motivated by anxiety for the future, Kye was driven by a genuine interest in climate solutions and a belief that the climate crisis can be addressed with a proper level of resources and intelligent problem solving.

What We Do
Inspired by Kye’s legacy, KCAF is focused on supporting talented and courageous young people in their work to fight the climate crisis. We believe that solving the climate crisis requires intense collaboration and diverse perspectives, and that every young person who cares to dedicate their time and energy to this issue should be encouraged to do so. Through a combination of grant funding and professional mentorship, we seek to remove barriers to entry in the climate field and to help young changemakers expand their impact across the climate science, policy, advocacy, and technology fields– while building a joyful and inclusive community along the way.
