Women and people of color are most impacted by climate change.

Yet, while they’re creating solutions, they frequently face roadblocks.

They lack financial resources to take their work to the next level. They don’t have access to critical technical support and mentorship. They’re often overlooked as subject matter experts in their fields. They don’t get quoted in the media, their progress isn’t shared, and their innovations are often appropriated. Their voices aren’t heard. It’s frustrating to face these obstacles while leading innovative work that could make a widespread impact. 

If only…

If only they had access to funding and support to expand their work. If only they had the ability to amplify their message through the media, to amass a larger listening audience. If only they could leverage connections to a greater collective of grantmakers, celebrities, influencers. If only they had everything they needed to create the future they want.

That’s where we jump in.
