Our work involves supporting rural communities in transitioning to clean and renewable energy sources, which helps in reducing carbon emissions, lowering costs, and preserving natural resources. In addition, we collaborate closely with local partners to put in place practical actions to prepare our communities for the risk of wildfire.

Wildfire Preparedness Grant Program
With each passing year, fires are burning hotter, faster, more often and less predictably. Without mitigation efforts, there is higher potential for loss of life, decreases in community health, and depreciation of economic and natural resource assets. The Climate Resiliency grant program provides mitigation project resources of up to $4000 for property owners that face disproportionate harm from climate change-fueled wildfire.
