About Us

The Clean Energy Communities Fund is a philanthropic fund created from the bottom up. It is the result of community climate leaders across the U.S. teaming up to make a collective ask of climate donors. The Fund makes it possible for donors to invest in hundreds of communities – via local governments and nonprofit partners – with only one grant.
