Campaign Engine Room
Keep the independent movement ready to act, fast.
Climate 200 must be ready to help independents act when opportunity strikes.
Unlike the major parties, independents don’t have permanent war chests, standing campaign units or taxpayer funded research teams. That’s where we come in.
Our Campaign Engine Room enables us to help community backed independents launch disciplined, data driven campaigns at speed.
It means our team can work with campaigns while they get set up, providing strategic guidance, research capability, fundraising systems, technology platforms, and essential administrative support.
This enabled independents to spring into action and win when elections came up at short notice in places like Pittwater (NSW) and Franklin (TAS).
Invest now to keep the engine running and ensure we are ready to support campaigns when it matters most.

How this differs from campaign donations
Direct campaign funding remains critical. But the Campaign Engine Room is different. It supports the capability layer that makes every campaign dollar more effective, especially under time pressure and evolving funding laws.
If you’ve previously backed campaigns through Climate 200, this is the next high-leverage place to invest.
Why sustaining core capabilities matters
In previous election cycles, Climate 200 significantly reduced its team after polling day. While that kept costs lean, it also meant rebuilding expertise, systems and momentum when the next opportunity emerged.
Our post election review made one thing clear: if we want to win in 2028, we cannot afford to wait, or rebuild.
Whilst our team remains lean, we’ve also invested in sustaining core capabilities between elections. This means we can retain experienced strategic staff, continue to grow and develop talent across the movement, and ensure independents have ongoing access to research, fundraising and campaign support.
