Our Approach

मिडवेस्ट क्लाइमेट एंड एनर्जी प्रोग्राम अपने परोपकारी धन का उपयोग उन प्रयासों का समर्थन करने के लिए करता है जो साझेदारी के माध्यम से शक्ति का निर्माण करते हैं, जलवायु संकट पर साहसिक कार्रवाई को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए जलवायु और इक्विटी लक्ष्यों को संरेखित करते हैं।

हमारा कार्यक्रम एक लेता है सिस्टम लेंस बदलते हैंजलवायु संकट को खत्म करने वाली परिस्थितियों को स्थानांतरित करने पर ध्यान केंद्रित करना, जिसमें संरचनात्मक नस्लवाद शामिल है। हम 2030 तक मिडवेस्ट में नाटकीय रूप से कार्बन प्रदूषण में कटौती करने के लिए मानसिक प्रतिमानों को बदलने वाले, शक्ति गतिकी में परिवर्तन, समुदायों को संलग्न करने और परिवर्तनकारी नीतियों, प्रथाओं और संसाधन प्रवाह को आगे बढ़ाने वाले काम की ओर प्रत्यक्ष अनुदान प्रदान करते हैं।

फाउंडेशन के साथ मिलकर रणनीतिक ढांचा, the program’s approach is grounded in continuous learning, innovation, and adaptive action as the economic, political, and social context in which we operate continues to evolve.

हमारी रणनीतियाँ

ऊर्जा प्रणाली को बदलना

We aim to ensure that the Midwest equitably transitions to an energy grid capable of powering an increasingly electrified society – a grid that’s powered by clean energy sources, accessible and affordable to ratepayers, and flexible and resilient to accommodate more clean power and withstand disruptive events.

Our grantmaking through this strategy will:

Engage the utility sector and related decision-making venues as a crucial lever for system transformation.
Amplify stories of the clean energy transition and combat mis- and disinformation.
Expand solutions that advance customer options for clean energy that is accessible, equitable, and affordable.
Elevate voices that are representative of the rich diversity of the Midwest.

Decarbonize Transportation

We aim to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector in the Midwest through electrification and reducing driving (vehicle miles traveled, or “VMT”) by increasing the use of transit, biking, and other mobility options. We support the Midwest States leading in transportation infrastructure implementation that is equitable, and sustainable and ensures that everyone has access to clean, affordable, and accessible transportation mobility options.

Our grantmaking through this strategy will:

Support increased public sector investment in transit, active transportation modes, and other shared mobility options.
Support the equitable deployment and implementation of electrification infrastructure.
Elevate the engagement of diverse Midwest communities to advance transportation planning that prioritizes climate and equity and repairs historical harms resulting from discriminatory policies.

Decarbonize Buildings

We aim to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the buildings sector in the Midwest, cutting energy usage, electrifying equipment and appliances, and resolving the energy insecurities and burdens of under-resourced households.

Our grantmaking through this strategy will:

Engage with the utility sector and related decision-making venues as a crucial lever for building decarbonization.
Raise the bar on building performance to incorporate increasingly electrified end-uses, promote health, safety, and comfort, and center the real needs of people.
Bridge across sectors and break down silos to fundamentally shift the paradigm for how buildings are built.
Scale innovation to advance real-world examples of carbon-free buildings in the Midwest.

Support Working Lands

We aim to partner with the stewards of working lands to advance solutions that cut greenhouse gas emissions (carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide), sequester carbon, and build soil resiliency in the face of increasing climate disruptions, while centering the leadership of farmers and rural communities’ prosperity.

Our Grantmaking through this strategy will:

Promote the leadership of farmers and farmer-led organizations to advance climate solutions.
Build partnerships with public and private sectors to seed and scale farming practices that reduce emissions and sequester carbon.
Support organizing and advocacy infrastructure in the Midwest for an inclusive farming system with strong workers’ rights that honors Indigenous farming knowledge and has equitable opportunities for low-income, communities of color, and emerging farmers.

लोकतांत्रिक भागीदारी को मजबूत करें

We aim to increase statewide infrastructure and capacity, engage diverse people in advancing our shared prosperity, and create platforms for broader participation in movements to realize vibrant, equitable, and climate-resilient communities.

Our grantmaking through this strategy will:

Bolster organizations, networks, and intermediaries working to engage and organize communities toward more powerful participation in civic life.
Ensure our democratic institutions and policymaking arenas are accessible and equipped to meet the challenge of the climate moment.

This is a shared goal with the जीवंत और न्यायसंगत समुदाय कार्यक्रम।
