Blue Forest Finance

Blue Forest is a conservation finance nonprofit dedicated to bringing communities, finance and science together to restore and protect our forests and watersheds and prevent catastrophic wildfires. Blue Forest has managed investor capital through its flagship financial product, the Forest Resilience Bond (FRB), which deploys private capital to finance forest restoration projects on private and public lands to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire.  

The QBE Foundation has supported Blue Forest since 2022 with a mixture of grants and philanthropic impact investments made through the QBE Foundation and QBE Possibilities Fund. 

In 2024, the QBE Possibilities Fund matched dollar for dollar, up to $200,000, any general public or employee philanthropic impact investment of at least $100 directed to Blue Forest’s FRB Catalyst Facility, via the CataCap platform held at ImpactAssets.
