Building resiliency through climate and community infrastructure
Our partners are tackling environmental challenges and building infrastructure to withstand future risks.
A shifting climate impacts us all, from increased storm severity to higher frequencies of extreme heat. By building green job capacity, advancing nature-based solutions, and enhancing critical infrastructure, our partners protect work to uplift communities now and for generations to come.

New Ecology: $675,000
Our partnership with New Ecology helps affordable housing owners navigate the complex path to building decarbonization. The organization provides practical, cost-effective guidance that helps owners understand new climate rules and take steps to reduce energy use, cut utility costs and meet new standards. By focusing on achievable upgrades today while planning for larger improvements over time, New Ecology protects affordable housing, supports residents and strengthens community resilience.
Boston Food Forest Coalition: $450,000
We support the Boston Food Forest Coalition’s work transforming vacant, city‑owned lots into permanently protected, community‑managed food forests — public green spaces designed to grow fruits and vegetables while functioning like natural forests. In 2025, the Coalition maintained 10 food forests and advanced several new sites with a goal of establishing 30 food forests by 2030. This work expands green space, increases tree canopy and improves access to healthy food.
