Progressive Multiplier Announces Grants to Environmental Justice Organizations

Progressive Multiplier, a Progressive Power Lab project, announced its latest round of grants to environmental justice organizations.

The following organizations are testing revenue generation techniques that, once proven and distributed, have the potential to make a real impact on the sustainability of the environmental justice movement.  We congratulate these environmental justice organizations in their creativity, rigor and drive to scale their independent revenue and share their learnings with the sector. These grants are a part of Progressive Multiplier’s work to ensure that organizing groups achieve self reliance, scale, and stability.

Climate Justice Alliance:  CJA is working on a lead generation to donor conversion project that aims to grow their email audience and cultivate them into EJ activists and small dollar donors helping frontline communities build the regenerative economy.

Kentuckians for the Commonwealth:  KFTC wants to continue to shift the narrative about what’s possible in Kentucky, and through this grant project, test into what types of messages inspire people to see themselves in the work and to actually take action through advocacy and small dollar donations.

Power Shift Network:  Through quarterly prospecting events, PSN will build a large major and mid-major donor program.  The group will be testing different follow up communication tactics and offers to its potential donors, defining what yields the most revenue to support mobilizing the collective power of young people to mitigate climate change and create a just, clean energy future.

US Climate Action Network:  USCAN has launched Arm in Arm, a peer-to-peer fundraising program that couples grassroots activism and revenue generation, to ignite a transformational era that ends the climate crisis by centering economic and racial justice.

The Water Collaborative of Greater New Orleans:  TWC is launching Water and Climate Tours, dedicated to the historical and future relationship New Orleans and Southeast Louisiana has with water, climate, and the built environment, and how it shapes the city’s culture, traditions, and attitudes. The education should bring a focus on equitable practices to sustainably live and thrive in this and other coastal communities effected by environmental injustice.
