The Climate and Clean Energy Equity Fund is a fiscally-sponsored project of New Venture Fund.
The Equity Fund is building the power needed to stop climate change and create an equitable clean energy future through a strategic multi-state initiative. The Equity Fund is strategically building power by:
-Investing in the leadership and organizing of diverse communities (Black, Latinx, AAPI, Indigenous people, and communities bearing the brunt of climate change)
-Engaging voters in these communities through nonpartisan civic engagement campaigns; and
-Winning climate and clean energy policy solutions that reflect the priorities of communities and advance racial, economic, and environmental justice.
The Equity Fund is partnering with organizations in 13 states: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Additional states will be added in 2022.
