Community Foundation Climate Collaborative
Our collaborative approach empowers communities to identify innovative strategies, strengthen local capacity, and attract the resources needed to thrive amid climate challenges
We harness the collective power of our members to drive solutions
Our mission is to strengthen and accelerate the capacity of community foundations to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, particularly in underserved communities, while addressing historical inequities. We are guided by the core principle that communities are the solutions for climate change.
Our collaborative approach empowers communities to identify innovative strategies, strengthen local capacity, and attract the resources needed to thrive amid climate challenges—creating vibrant, sustainable futures for generations to come.
Our work is divided into three primary areas
At the heart of our work is connection. Through shared learning, collaborative action, and in-person convenings, we bring community foundations and partners together to build knowledge, strengthen relationships, and advance collective climate solutions that are grounded in local communities.
