Collectrify invests in projects that catalyze innovation, amplify community-based solutions, and/or implement energy efficiency and building electrification effortsto advance the field and practice of equitable building electrification.

Who We Are
Collectrify was started by environmental, housing, and climate justice leaders who came together in 2019 with other community-based housing, energy, and consumer protection advocates and members of philanthropy, because low-income communities and communities of color were being left out of conversations about building decarbonization.

Our Partner's Impact
Through our three core organizational pillars - drive resources to the frontlines, facilitate collaborative learning, and center people and equity in building decarbonization by building relationships between philanthropy and frontline leaders through our participatory grantmaking model - we are building alignment and momentum across various touchpoints in the equitable building electrification spaces to achieve our Vision for 2030.
