Grants to this Grantee
for the Clean Transportation for All campaign
The Sierra Club Foundation was founded in 1960 to administer funds in support of scientific, educational, charitable, and literary efforts to preserve, protect, and restore the natural environment. The Sierra Club Foundation’s Clean Transportation for All campaign aims to reduce climate and air pollution, create jobs, and expand access to transportation by ensuring that 100% of the road vehicle fleet in the U.S. is electric. This grant supports the program’s plans to work within federal regulatory and state policy to advance clean trucks and buses and secure funds for EV charging infrastructure. (Substrategy: Electrification)
for the Beyond Coal campaign
The Sierra Club Foundation’s Beyond Coal Campaign is focused on reducing global warming emissions and other air pollutants by transitioning away from fossil-fired electricity and toward clean-energy sources in the United States. The campaign aims for a 100 percent clean electricity system by 2030 to improve air and water quality, protect land and wildlife, develop an efficient and resilient economy, and ensure that the U.S. meets and exceeds its international climate change commitments.
