We're grateful to receive the @elmactionfund Commonwealth Environmental Leadership Award, a testament to the power of our Climate grantees and their work across the region.

Local organizations are shaping a future with abundant low-carbon transportation options, affordable clean energy, and greater climate resilience.

It all begins with solutions that come from the communities experiencing climate impacts and inequities first hand.

Senior Program Officer John Travis's experiences in Philadelphia public schools shape him to this day.

The Barr Fellowship, one of our longest-standing programs, has been supporting and connecting social sector leaders in Massachusetts for nearly two decades.

This iteration of the program responds directly to what we heard from leaders in our network:

We need to step back and clarify our purpose. We are interested in developing practices for sustainable leadership. We want to join a community of leaders who are committed to doing the work together.

The fellowship includes: $75k for the leader and their organization, 50 hours of coaching, and 15 months of connection.

Applications open now through June 30th. Link in bio.

What happens in classrooms is full of power.

Senior Program Officer Jess Rose's experiences as a student motivate her to create more spaces of transformational growth.

Our changing climate is an urgent challenge and an enormous opportunity for our economy and future.

In an op-ed for Commonwealth Beacon, Mariella Puerto, our Director of Climate, makes the case that now is the time to lean into programs like @masssave that address affordability and sustainability at the same time.

Transformative high school experiences set students up to succeed in life.

Education Program Associate Dylan Everett still remembers how the high expectations of his teachers inspired him. Now, he and his team are working to make sure all of New England's students have the opportunities they need to thrive.

Most people don't think of housing policy as climate policy. But where and how we build homes is one of the most powerful levers we have for reducing emissions.

Transportation is the largest source of pollution in Massachusetts, and when homes are built far from jobs, schools, and transit, driving isn't a choice. It's a necessity.

Early results from the MBTA Communities Act are promising: in just two years, communities have permitted more than 8,000 new housing units that make walkable, bikeable, transit-connected neighborhoods a reality.

Right alongside fear and concern, there's a renewed sense of commitment to our future and what's possible in it.

Across our programs, there is a notable shift from reacting to responding. We are committed to supporting that shift every step of the way.

Being an immigrant is an act of creativity on a daily basis—one that is both a source of pride and a challenge. It's up to arts organizations, funders, and the entire community to welcome and amplify their stories.

Our hope is to inspire funders and arts organizations to continue to evolve with and for these communities.

Here's a snapshot of what we learned.
