The Sunrise Project is a unique hybrid campaigning and funding organization dedicated to addressing the climate crisis by accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. It employs a 'directed network' approach to campaigning, building the power of social movements to achieve large-scale change that individual organizations cannot accomplish alone. Operating at the intersection of social movements and philanthropy, The Sunrise Project raises funds from donors who share its mission and grants them to non-government organizations and community groups, fostering collective impact.

The organization’s small team of skilled organizers and analysts supports these partner organizations in working effectively together. Taking a system-wide view, The Sunrise Project encourages collaboration among diverse stakeholders, including frontline communities, NGOs, academics, religious groups, investors, and indigenous groups, recognizing that complex problems like the climate crisis require a society-wide response. Their strategic approach involves comprehensive analysis of political, social, and economic systems, strategic design for multi-organization efforts, and collaboration with philanthropy to resource these initiatives. They actively fund and support organizations to sharpen their strategies and build capacity, driving strategic interventions to hasten the transition beyond fossil fuels, as exemplified by projects like "Shifting Global Finance Beyond Fossil Fuels" and "Transforming Australia from Climate Laggard to Leader."
