Overview
Social and Environmental Entrepreneurs is the fiscal sponsor of the Central Valley Air Quality Coalition, a partnership of more than seventy medical, public health, religious, community, and environmental organizations. The Coalition would create a regranting program to direct small grants to community groups that play a critical role in educating key decisionmakers. The grant would also increase the ability of the Coalition to work with a diverse array of organizations on efforts to restrict development of high carbon fuels, ensure that clean renewable energy is developed, and adopt and implement policies to reduce transportation sector emissions.
