Our Work
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.
