for legal technical assistance
This grant is for legal technical assistance for Latino Outdoors, a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives, to help increase understanding of the current landscape as grantees engage in DEIJ-related charitable activities. A project of Oakland, California-based Community Initiatives, Latino Outdoors works to inspire, connect, and engage Latinx communities in the outdoors and embrace cultura y familia as part of the outdoor narrative, ensuring Latinx history, heritage, and leadership are valued and represented. Through a network of committed volunteers, the organization is a contributor in the movement to achieve more equitable access to the outdoors and engages and empowers people to enjoy and advocate for land and water conservation. This grant is for legal technical assistance. (Substrategy: Other Strategies)
for the Just Solutions Collective
The Just Solutions Collective, a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives, broadens and deepens the understanding and implementation of equitable and effective climate policies and programs, at a scale and pace that matches the urgency of the climate crisis. The collective partners with communities disproportionately impacted by climate change to turn their priorities and ideas into policies. It draws from community-created solutions and invests deeply in organizations and coalitions that have demonstrated the vision, strategy, and power to secure and implement climate policies that strengthen their communities’ health, economic security, and resiliency.
