Our goal is to ensure that at least 40% of federal climate funding benefits disadvantaged communities across the country, with at least 15% of those investments flowing through minority-owned green businesses.

The Inflation Reduction Act provides a historic opportunity to transform communities most impacted by climate change into places of sustainable economic growth. However, even though record levels of climate funding are now available, many disadvantaged communities lack the resources and capacity they need to be able to apply for grants and assemble teams for climate projects.
We're partnering with disadvantaged communities across the country to change that. Through advocacy, technical assistance, and capacity-building, we're bringing together local governments, community-based organizations, and minority-owned businesses to apply for funding and build out projects that create environmental and economic benefits for the local community.
