Multiplier

Menlo Spark, a project of Multiplier, is an independent nonprofit helping Menlo Park adopt a suite of measures by 2025 that are necessary to reach zero carbon by 2030. They collaborate with local government, businesses, residents and experts to apply proven sustainability measures to Menlo Park through community engagement. This grant will provide support to facilitate the transition to a new CEO, including supporting new back-office development.

The path to achieving 100% clean energy runs through our electricity transmission infrastructure, but the antiquated U.S. power grid is currently a barrier to realizing a net-zero emissions economy. The Clean Grid Initiative, a project of Multiplier, is a centralized hub for strategic leadership, coordination, and grantmaking that raises ambition and expands capacity for unlocking transmission solutions at the state, regional, and national levels.
