After months of careful consideration, Community Climate Shift has selected nine new organizations to co-lead our work transforming how communities and governments work together to address climate change and social justice. Each organization will receive a grant from Community Climate Shift. This will allow us to braid together philanthropic and federal dollars to to model community-centered policymaking in nine different places across the country.
Staff from the Institute for Market Transformation and the People’s Climate Innovation Center identified possible community partners through a social change ecosystem mapping process and submitted recommendations to the Steering Committee for alignment. The Steering Committee is a diverse group of community-based organizations that comprise our Building Equity in Climate Solutions and Equitable Decarbonization Collaborators.
We are proud to announce the following new community partners:
- California
- Chicago
- Kansas City, MO
- Minneapolis
- New Orleans
- St. Louis
- Washington, DC
We will also expand work with two existing partners: PODER in San Francisco and POWER Interfaith in Philadelphia.
We have funded these organizations for one year and are actively seeking additional funding to support these efforts through years 2 and 3 of the DOE award. Contact Betsy Law to learn more about investing in Community Climate Shift.
