Oregon League of Conservation Voters

$50,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!
The Oregon League of Conservation Voters PAC (OLCV PAC) is the state’s leading environmental organization for electing pro-climate candidates. As an LCV affiliate, OLCV PAC's top priority for 2024 is electing new super majorities to the Oregon House and Senate. If successful, a number of climate and other progressive policies are expected to move through the State legislature as the Republican walk-out strategy that has blocked climate legislation in Oregon for years would be much less effective. Both chambers are just one seat shy of a super-majority, and there is a path to pick up those seats in 2024 while targeting state legislative races nested within the highly competitive OR-5 congressional race.

Community Change Voters

$114,000 Raised
All data points show that hard-to-find & reach Black, Latino, Native, AAPI, women, and young voters will need additional engagement to turn out for values-aligned candidates. One way to motivate turnout is through layered canvas mail: a personalized mail touch will increase voter turnout, influence voter behavior, and decrease canvas decay. Through a partnership with WorkMoney we will be adding QR codes and pathways to connect voters to government resources that put money directly in their pockets. We know these voters feel economic anxiety and believe no one cares about their pain. The care and IRA benefits framework is an antidote to apathy so that voters can make a direct connection between their power at the voting booth and governing process. This is our opportunity to shift the political calculus -- and ensure voters aren’t isolated from the safety net.

$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.
