Strategic Climate Change Grantmaking
Increased Funding for Climate Change, Clean Energy, and Equity Issues in Minnesota
Carolyn Foundation believes 2023 provides a unique and critical opportunity to make significant progress on climate, clean energy, and equity issues in Minnesota. In coordination with Energy Foundation and other funders, Carolyn Foundation has worked quickly to identify and support organizations whose participation in the 100% Campaign is critical to its success:
- Action for the Climate Emergency (ACE)
- Citizens Utility Board of Minnesota
- Climate Generation: A Will Steger Legacy
- Community Power
- Conservation Minnesota
- Fresh Energy
- Great Plains Institute
- Institute for Local Self-Reliance
- ISAIAH
- Land Stewardship Project
- Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy
- Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light
- Native Sun Community Power Development
We are so proud of the outstanding work of all of these groups. With the passage of the 100% Clean Energy Bill, MN is now a climate change leader in the US. Carolyn Foundation will make additional climate change grants over the next 2-3 years to support the successful implementation of state and federal climate change policy.
