Description
The Climate Action and Racial Equity Fund is designed to support place-based, community-driven initiatives in Minneapolis that advance climate justice and reduce local greenhouse gas emissions. The fund aligns with both the Minneapolis Climate Equity Plan and the city's Strategic and Racial Equity Action Plan, fostering local partnerships and engaging residents to increase ownership of climate solutions. Projects should strengthen social connections within diverse communities and prioritize racial equity in their approach.
