Strategic Grantmaking
We provide sustained, multiyear funding for over 120 community partners across rural, urban and suburban geographies to lead large-scale advocacy, strategic communications, and nonpartisan civic engagement initiatives.
How we win
The Climate Equity Fund is building a powerful base of popular support for equitable climate action, state by state. We do this by investing in multi-racial, working class, and BIPOC-led organizations to build power, transform climate narratives, and win community-driven public policies that ensure we can all thrive.

What we Do
We pair sustained funding with expert policy analysis and narrative strategy to build authentic community power and systems-level change.
Philanthropic Advocacy
We are building an intentional community of funders who represent climate equity, civic engagement, racial justice, economic opportunity, and workforce development and who move resources together towards systemic change.
Policy Expertise
We equip grantee partners to be leaders in advocating for and implementing policy solutions through robust technical assistance, learning and coalition-building opportunities, and a transformative fellowship program.
Narrative Power
We equip grantee partners with the tools they need to reshape public narratives about climate action and push back against disinformation so that climate equity is not just a conversation, but a winning frame for policy and culture change.
Where we work
Together with our partners in 14 states, we’re building political will for equitable climate progress and clean energy transition that advances racial and economic justice grounded in true democracy.
