Overview
Communities for a Better Environment is one of a few environmental justice organizations in California to publicly support the state's cap and trade program and the Low Carbon Fuel Standard--two essential components of the state's global warming emission reduction program (AB 32). This $20,000 grant supplements CBE's existing $100,000 grant, which supported CBE's work on renewable energy policies, to include additional work on defense of broader range of AB 32 policies.

Grants to this Grantee
for strategic planning
An Organizational Effectiveness (OE) grant to Communities for a Better Environment will help their new executive director improve organizational infrastructure to achieve better strategic and program planning, administrative and board processes, monitoring and evaluation, and decision making. CBE expects to hire a consultant to work with the director, a newly-hired associate director of organizational development, as well as staff and board, to assess current practices, develop recommendations and metrics, and begin to socialize and implement new systems.
for the Clean Energy & Climate Justice Program
Communities for a Better Environment conducts state and local grassroots organizing, policy advocacy, and legal work in support of cleaner electricity and transportation. Its Clean Energy program will lend community-based voices to efforts promoting increased renewable energy. It will also counter utilities seeking to build new fossil fuel plants in California, and oil companies trying to dismantle the state’s global warming programs.
