Intern Investor Relations Dutch Fund for Climate and Development

WWF is an international organization for the protection of nature with the mission to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which Humans live in harmony with nature. The organization has independent offices in around 100 countries in the world forming a global network. WWF looks for solutions in cooperation with governments, companies and civil society to realize protection of species and their habitats and a sustainable use of environmental resources.

We are part of the Dutch Fund for Climate and Development (DFCD), a blended finance facility which is funded by Dutch government and EU. Together with Dutch development bank FMO, Climate Fund Managers (CFM) and SNV we mobilise private sector funding at scale, with a focus on climate change adaptation and nature. It targets sizable impact companies that seek to improve the wellbeing, economic prospects and livelihoods of vulnerable groups – particularly women and children – and enhance the health of critical ecosystems – from water basins to rivers, tropical rainforests, marshland and mangroves. DFCD’s activities will also help protect rural and urban communities from the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and benefit depleting biodiversity in areas that provide people with water, food, medicine and economic opportunity. DFCD’s focus is on OECD DAC Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and other Netherlands development cooperation priority countries.

Within DFCD, the Origination Facility is managed by WWF-NL and SNV collectively. The Origination Facility is positioned exclusively for project identification and (pre-)feasibility development activities. The Origination Facility will provide grant funding and TA and support projects in becoming viable investment cases for the two DFCD Investment Facilities or third-party investors.

We want all the companies we support within DFCD to receive funding for growing their impact. Therefore, WWF is building our own impact investor ecosystem with many different investors, aiming to attract investments into our selected businesses, additional to funding from FMO and CFM.
