HOW WE
WIN
The Climate and Clean Energy Equity Fund is building a broad and powerful base of popular support for equitable climate action, state by state.
We do this by supporting the leadership and organizing of multiracial, working-class communities through deep and sustained funding, capacity-building, technical assistance, and donor advising—because climate progress is only durable when it creates economic and racial equity.
