Across the US, grassroots organizing groups and their networks are actively working towards climate justice solutions tailored for their local communities. We're working to fund these impactful grassroots solutions through intentional, collaborative engagement and transparent financing strategies.
Throughout the year, Avenew will help raise dollars for a grassroots organization through a variety of ways, including fundraising campaigns and donations from co-create projects.
A 100% grassroots-governed fund supporting grassroots-led climate solutions.
