Details:
EarthShare is supporting the transition to clean energy through a second-year grants program, The Energy of One, The Power of Many, that will continue to establish community-level initiatives in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Arizona focused on sustainable and equitable energy.
Objective
This grant program, which is based in Arizona, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, seeks to foster public conversations about the impact of energy in our everyday lives and our environment, including climate, air, water, and land. In doing so, they will demonstrate the importance and value of energy choice, energy equity, renewable energy, and energy efficiency.
EarthShare is looking for grantees that can make the complex topic of energy accessible and easily approachable by synthesizing information around broad topic areas that tend to confuse the public such as energy policies, energy sources, energy impact, and energy options. They are encouraging projects that address equity, just transition, and job training in the sustainable energy field. Using funding level ranges and program criteria, the grant program will promote innovative approaches to education and outreach, new and existing collaborative relationships, and momentum across subsequent years.
