Overview
The Greenlining Institute seeks to enact equitable federal financial regulatory reform on climate finance in the United States. The institute’s work includes creating model climate-finance programs to mandate climate-mitigating investments by financial institutions through regulatory reform, providing racial equity perspectives in federal advocacy efforts on climate finance, broadening the availability and reach of climate capital through community-centered lenders, and building broad support for equity-centered climate finance policy.

for general operating support
The Greenlining Institute works toward a future when communities of color can build wealth, live in healthy places filled with economic opportunity, and are ready to meet the challenges posed by climate change. Greenlining brings its research and policy expertise to community-based organizations in California and across the U.S. to foster consensus-building that produces long-term policy and economic change. Greenlining spearheads innovative strategies at the intersections of racial, economic, and climate equity to build an abundant future that brings investments and opportunities into communities.

for Greenlining the Block
The Greenlining Institute works to support low- and middle-income communities in California, Michigan, Illinois, Virginia, Colorado, and North Carolina in pursuing community-driven climate action projects across the country and unlocking resources available as a result of federal climate investment legislation. This grant for their Greenlining the Block initiative will strengthen local coalitions to effectively pursue and access public and private climate resources. Greenlining will support local organizations to cultivate productive multisectoral partnerships grounded in community needs; support organizations to connect the dots across multiple financing streams; and directly support community capacity with tailored planning, project management, and technical expertise to realize community projects.
