Fourteen smaller environmental justice organizations from around the United States have begun to receive money under the Justice40 initiative
Donele Wilkins, founder of Green Door Initiative, a group that does environmental workforce development, stands in the field next to her childhood home where her company is developing a solar community hub, Tuesday, June 28, 2022, in Detroit.
“It lets us know that our work is not in vain,” said Eric Simpson, a farmer and owner of New Eden Ecosystem in West Point, Georgia. The West Georgia Farmers Cooperative will build a community hub where farmers can sell their crops and products they make from them. Both groups wrangled the funding with help from the Justice40 Accelerator, created by a coalition of environmental and climate nonprofits led by The Solutions Project to help smaller community organizations navigate the federal funding process.
The accelerator worked to raise the groups' awareness of resources available to them from federal agencies and prepare them to apply for grants. Just under half of the groups that got the technical support received funding of some kind, whether from federal, state, local or philanthropic sources, and winning $8 million in total.
