Collectrify was founded in 2019 by environmental, housing, and climate justice leaders who recognized that low-income communities and communities of color were being left out of critical conversations about building decarbonization. What started as conversations among trusted advocates has grown into a collaborative movement guided by our Governance Assembly—frontline leaders who ensure our work centers community self-determination and transforms the balance of power in energy and housing. Together, our team and Governance Assembly members bring decades of experience in environmental justice, community organizing, policy advocacy, and philanthropic partnerships to advance equitable building electrification at scale.
