POWERING A
MOVEMENT
The Climate and Clean Energy Equity Fund supports a powerfully diverse movement for climate action that advances economic, gender and racial equity.
We advance climate action and the transition to clean energy by supporting the leadership and organizing of Black, Indigenous, Latino, AAPI, immigrant, and multiracial communities to lead large-scale advocacy, strategic communications, and nonpartisan civic engagement initiatives.
As a leader in climate philanthropy, The Equity Fund provides catalytic and sustained funding, donor advising, capacity-building and technical assistance to community-based organizations in 13 states. In partnership with climate leaders and funders, we advance community-supported solutions to deliver equitable economic opportunities and address disparities in health, housing, and job quality through a transition to clean energy.
