Environmental & Climate Justice Program

    The mission focuses on building a just and sustainable world by addressing the existential threat of climate change. It emphasizes support for BIPOC community-based and led grassroots groups working on environmental and climate justice. These groups strive to tackle the racial and economic disparities exacerbated by environmental issues, aligning their fight with the broader battle against white supremacy. The foundation aims to empower these groups to develop their own strategies and solutions, fostering coalition-building across multiple issues crucial to their communities.

    Overview

    The grant program, Environmental & Climate Justice Program, prioritizes the movement-building work and leadership of BIPOC grassroots groups directly impacted by climate change and environmental harm. It supports organizing, policy, litigation, and public education efforts aimed at mitigating climate change effects and promoting sustainability, racial, and economic justice. The program does not confine itself to specific strategies but instead focuses on empowering grassroots groups to create strategic solutions that address a range of interconnected issues, including housing, jobs, and civic participation. The foundation offers general operating and project grants, averaging $50,000 over two years, and prioritizes efforts in New York City and State, with specific attention to public transit equity, transition to sustainable energy, and pollution reduction in low-income communities of color.
