Climate Hawai'i

$12,668 Raised

Climate Hawai‘i leverages transformative collaboration to accelerate Hawaii's equitable transition to a resilient, prosperous, climate safe future. Given the critical juncture in the islands’ journey to achieve its “first in the nation” 100% renewable energy law, Climate Hawai‘i seeks to develop a shared understanding of the state’s potential pathways toward a low-cost, low-carbon future among communities and key decision leaders. We believe an expert analysis of the most feasible plans—and an understanding of what it will take to achieve them—will help Hawai‘i become a scalable model and living laboratory for others seeking to reach ambitious climate goals.

Nevada Clean Energy Fund

$32,000 Raised

The Nevada Clean Energy Fund (NCEF) is dedicated to fostering a thriving, affordable, and accessible clean energy economy in Nevada, with a primary emphasis on supporting frontline and underserved communities. With roughly $350 million in pending federal grant applications and the anticipated arrival of federal grants in July 2024, NCEF recognizes the pressing need to bolster its capacity. Presently staffed with four essential operations employees, the addition of one program staff offers the potential to double the project pipeline's readiness to deploy resources following the receipt of federal funds from the EPA. This additional staff member would enable us to have a more rapid and significant impact towards advancing clean energy initiatives in Nevada during the 2024 calendar year.
