Greenlight America

$77,200 Raised | $11,400 Match Remaining
Greenlight is mobilizing grassroots power to win local clean energy fights where projects are most at risk of being blocked. With our Clean Energy Mobilization Hub, we equip supporters to show up in permitting battles, ensuring solar, wind, and storage get built on time to meet the urgent climate window. Partnering with Protect Our Winters (POW), we’re expanding campaigns in the Mountain West—especially Colorado and Nevada—through joint phonebanking and organizing, advancing projects with more than 600MW potential. Together, we’re making sure clean energy doesn’t lose by forfeit and building durable climate wins in critical geographies.

American Solar Grazing Association

$104,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
The American Solar Grazing Association (ASGA) is a farmer-founded organization that provides support for the movement to find common ground through the co-location of solar and agriculture. Solar grazing currently takes place on over 100,000 acres at 500 sites in 27 states. With support, it could happen throughout the country. It keeps farmland in agricultural production, provides needed land management for solar, increases farm revenue, provides land access, and increases domestic lamb supply. ASGA needs funds to create resources, provide mentorship, offer workforce development, administer certifications, and increase awareness of this opportunity.

Stopping Bad Bills in Texas

$128,300 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
Legislation has been introduced in Texas that would thwart renewable energy and promote fossil fuel development in a state where the impacts could not be more consequential. In recent years, the plummeting costs of wind and solar have allowed renewables to compete with fossil fuels in a state that is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the country – and Texas now generates more renewable energy than any other state by a long shot. The Texas Advanced Energy Business Alliance and Texas Consumer Association are leading efforts to block the ideological attacks on renewable energy and move forward bills that will help consumers and increase grid reliability.
  • Texas Advanced Energy Business Alliance (TAEBA) is the Texas chapter of Advanced Energy United is deeply involved in efforts to stop bad anti-renewable bills while also promoting transmission expansion and energy waste reduction.
  • Texas Consumer Association and the Consumer Fund of Texas are consistently providing focused research and advocacy showing how anti-renewable bills would hurt Texas consumers. Two new studies are in the works to come out in the next few weeks; TCA will use support here to make sure people see the research and understand the negative impacts.

Welcoming Neighbors Network

$92,700 Raised
WNN members North Carolina Housing Table and Texans for Housing are advancing pro-housing, pro-climate land use reforms in their deep-red state legislatures. By building unique, bipartisan, strange bedfellow coalitions around these reforms, they have a clear opportunity to achieve climate-friendly reforms where other environmental policies are dead on arrival. These policies would shift housing growth toward existing, walkable, transit-connected communities, reducing per capita emissions and fighting suburban sprawl. Through community organizing, coalition-building, and direct advocacy, the NC Housing Table and Texans for Housing are overcoming the power of NIMBYism and achieving groundbreaking pro-climate progress in unlikely places.

Conservation Voters New Mexico

$50,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
In New Mexico, we have the opportunity to pass a climate package that would codify net zero emissions by 2050, allocate $340 million for climate action, and $10 million for state agency capacity for compliance and enforcement. With a unified coalition, Clear Horizons NM, a partnership of 30 environmental and social justice organizations, Governor Lujan Grisham’s public support during her 2025 State of the State, and a pro-climate legislature, we are positioned to pass this slate of climate legislation through both chambers, but we need additional resources for grassroots advocacy, communications, and lobbying to get them over the finish line.

Semilla Action

$50,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
Semilla Action is leading the Clear Horizons Campaign where we have an opportunity to make tremendous progress for climate action by passing the Clear Horizons Act (Senate Bill 4), the Community Benefits Fund Act (Senate Bills 48 & 49), and the Innovations in Government Act (Senate Bill 83). These bills take an intersectional approach to not only codifying emissions reductions targets into state law through the Clear Horizons Act, but simultaneously pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into communities for just transition and clean energy projects that will directly reduce emissions in the Community Benefits Fund.

Permit Power

$120,000 Raised
Permit Power is working to make clean energy more affordable and accessible by addressing bureaucratic barriers that make rooftop solar 7-8 times more expensive in the U.S. compared to other developed countries. These obstacles include lengthy, complex local permitting processes and utility interconnection delays. Building on successful legislation in California and Maryland, which established pathways for instant online permits for rooftop solar and home battery installations, Permit Power is advocating for related legislation in seven states in 2025. This presentation will explore how changing policy design and strategic messaging can offer a pathway to success in the very different States of New Jersey and Texas.

Inclusive Prosperity Capital

$117,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
Inclusive Prosperity Capital (IPC), a mission-driven 501(c)3 national clean energy financing platform spun out of the Connecticut Green Bank, focuses on bridging the gap in clean energy financing for traditionally underserved communities and market segments. IPC has invested over $50 million in clean energy and resilience projects across the U.S. and Territories, with a near-term pipeline of over $100 million of additional investment opportunities. Approximately 50% of IPC's investments benefit low to moderate income communities, with approximately 60% directed towards communities of color IPC's unique business model leverages a blended capital stack to ensure sustainable operations and capital reinvestment. As a lead coalition partner with the Justice Climate Fund, IPC is well-positioned to access Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) capital facilitating the potential to exponentially scale its impact during the coming years. Currently, IPC is spearheading the creation of a secondary market platform, collaborating with organizations like Opportunity Finance Network, Inclusive, Carsey School of Public Policy, and Natural Resource Defense Council, to standardize clean energy financing, making it easier for small community lenders to issue clean energy loans to subprime applicants with the risk reduced by philanthropic dollars.

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.

Greenlight America

$100,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
Greenlight America is focused on leveraging local grassroots support with the goal of winning local clean energy siting and permitting fights. The U.S. needs to build 6,000 clean energy facilities over the next decade, almost 2 per day, as well as more than 10,000 miles of transmission lines to hit emission reduction goals. Local opposition is the biggest obstacle to these projects, and there are few coordinated efforts to engage supporters as advocates for these projects. Greenlight is building a scalable, nationwide clean energy campaign hub to work with partner organizations, engage and mobilize local residents, and win project approvals.
