Donor Support

Commit $500k per country. We match it 1:1 with private market funds to build a ~$1M operating envelope that delivers dated, documented recognition in the BTR. Funds are milestone-escrowed, MoU-bound, PFM-compliant, and never paid to individuals.

BTR-First · AEF-parity · Milestone-escrowed

LoA → CA → AEF → BTR

We run the sovereign recognition pathway with the host ministry (DNA/Competent Authority) so eligible tonnes show up on time in the Biennial Transparency Report. Government pays no fees; optional, restricted administrative support can be included in the MoU to resource compilation and coordination—never policy decisions.

Why your funding matters

Sovereign process is the choke point. Without resourced templates, focal points, and a shared calendar, authorization, first transfer, CA, and ETF reporting slip—and supply doesn’t show. Your commitment unlocks capacity and keeps the lane moving to a dated outcome.

What your funding does

Builds country-fit LoA toolkits and BTR drafting capability (IR, AEF, §23(j) annex).
Confirms a ministry focal point and runs a shared milestone calendar with clear SLAs.
Produces a documentary evidence pack (LoA references, CA memo, AEF parity note, BTR section/citation).
Coordinates developer submissions and trader/buyer windows so volumes are recognized on time.
Milestone escrow: releases tied to gates (M0–M6), with ≥20% at BTR publication.

Fund the tools ministries need to publish on time with documentary proof.

Source of private match: trader tier commitments and buyer reservation escrows aligned to the same country lane.

Philanthropic funds do not purchase credits and carry no rights over authorizations; private match flows are commercial and tracked side-by-side under identical gates.

Commit now to establish a matched, escrowed delivery envelope with identical gates.

Milestones & escrow (weighted to publication)

Milestone	Release	Definition
M1 — Portfolio kick-off	20%	LOI (government pre-approval) signed; workplan agreed; country/approach shortlist opened.
M2 — First LoA (Host Party) signed	10%	LoA issued/signed for the first project (scope, use, quantities/vintages, IDs) and logged.
M3 — Initial Report confirmation	20%	Host Party confirms Initial Report (IR) elements for the cooperative approach (Decision 2/CMA.3 ¶18)
M4 — BTR confirmation (pre-TER clean)	10%	§23(j) annex draft clean and AEF/CA parity memo complete and reconciled host ↔ acquiring Party.
M5 — BTR drafting scheduled	10%	Article 6 sections (AEF + §23(j)) queued for the upcoming BTR window; project listed for annex/AEF tables.
M6 — BTR published	30%	Official BTR publication/registry event confirming volumes; release pro-rated by published tCO₂e.

Unreleased balances remain in escrow or refund/roll if a gate is not met. Any optional administrative support to ministries is restricted and milestone-linked, paid only to the designated institutional account under national PFM rules.

Weight your support to publication and tie disbursements to documentary gates.

Safeguards & audit

Evidence-first audit trail: dated files at each gate (LoA refs, CA memo, IR/AEF/§23(j) drafts, AEF parity note, publication links).
Milestone escrow & roll-forward: If publication slips, remaining funds roll to the next BTR cycle or refund on request.
Early-warning cadence: schedule deltas, risk flags, and escalation paths shared with donors and market partners.
Sovereignty & policy neutrality: support covers documentation for authorization, CA method, compilation, and audit trail.
Financial controls: funds flow only to designated institutional accounts under national PFM and procurement rules; never to individuals.
No donor influence: donors have no approval or veto rights over authorizations or reporting content.
Public transparency: aggregate amounts and milestone status may be disclosed in an annex or dashboard, as agreed.

Adopt escrow + audit trails with evidence-first disbursements.

Reporting & attribution

Evidence access — live tracker for dates, drafts, registry events and approvals; document vault with hash logs and version history.
Publication proof — AEF parity note (where applicable) and BTR citation once published.
Attribution — country lane and project communications may acknowledge donor support per your brand guidelines.
