Livable Housing.

Equitable Economic Opportunity.
Collectrify: A Frontline-Led Energy Fund (formerly Equitable Building Electrification Fund: A Collaboration for Frontline Communities) centers equity and people in the removal of fossil fuels from buildings and communities by giving resources to grassroots, frontline, and base-building organizations and leaders in communities of color and low-income communities to support their self-determined priorities. Collectrify seeks solutions that can transform the balance of power in the ownership and distribution of energy production, energy infrastructure, and housing.
Grounded in the Jemez Principles for Democratic Organizing and Principles for a Just Transition, Collectrify is advancing a new vision and strategies for community-based climate leadership. Environmental justice principles are the foundation upon which all of our work is built. They are the basis for our organizing and for building community power.
Centering equity in building electrification means that building electrification does not lead to increases in housing costs or displacement of limited-wealth communities, communities of color, or those on the frontlines of climate change.
The Collectrify Learning Community Collaboratory and partner grantees are working in the following states:
CA, OR, IL, KS, MO, MI, WI, IN, MN, NY, MA, VA, LA, MS
