We work to support and strengthen leaders and organizations whose work is critical to addressing climate change while advancing racial and economic justice.

Achieving equitable climate action in U.S. cities requires a strong, well-resourced and well-networked movement of trusted nonprofit organizations and leaders who center climate justice. This belief has guided our field-building strategy.

Learn more about our three key strategies that support field building:

• Climate Justice Movement Support
• Public Sector Leadership Support
• Community Development Climate Finance Ecosystem

Through this focus area, we work to:

• Support leaders, organizations and the network infrastructure that advance the climate justice movement.
• Accelerate the efforts of public-sector leaders whose work is critical to advancing an equitable climate action agenda.
• Strengthen community-focused co-developers of climate-beneficial projects – and the financing intermediaries and technical assistance providers working with them – to ensure communities of color and low-wealth communities have equitable access to public and private capital to deploy renewable energy and address climate challenges.

To achieve these outcomes, we deploy a blend of grants and social investments to advance climate justice, support public leaders and ensure equitable access to public and private capital.
