As Black Philanthropy Month comes to an end, today we also proudly observe Giving Black Day, a special occasion dedicated to supporting and uplifting Black communities and organizations. We all have the power to be philanthropists and this day highlights the importance of investing in the Black people and causes that enrich our communities in order to build a brighter future. By coming together on Giving Black Day, we are able to showcase our collective strength and generosity, as well as commit to tangible actions that support and empower Black communities.

About us
The Solutions Project funds and amplifies grassroots climate justice solutions across the US and Puerto Rico, especially those created by Black, Indigenous, Immigrant, women, and other people of color-led organizations. We operate as a national intermediary dedicated to improving the material conditions of the people directly impacted by the climate crisis, who we believe play a central role in finding and scaling solutions. We make grants to over 140 organizations closest to the problems created by pollution and climate change, amplifying the ideas and energy of those on the frontlines. We use culture, policy, and media as a strategy to bring focus and attention to what is working and what is not. The current moment appeals to philanthropy to be more attuned and holistic in its approach. To recognize interconnectedness, and to be in deeper service of communities. This is the type of philanthropy we embody. We envision a world where everyone has affordable housing, meaningful work, and a healthy place to live. A world created for the people, by the people. 100% for 100%. We make grants to the dozens of organizations closest to the problems of and solutions to pollution and climate change. We also help our partners tell their stories in the media so people everywhere can see what's working in the most unlikely of places. Finally, we get the best climate solutions in front of decision makers in government, business, and philanthropy so they put their money behind what works. Let's create the future we want!

Today, we honor Women’s Equality Day, a time to reflect on the progress we’ve made and the work still needed to achieve gender equality. This day not only marks the anniversary of the 19th Amendment’s ratification, which granted women the right to vote in the United States, but it also is a powerful reminder of the strides women have made and the ongoing efforts required to ensure equality in every aspect of life. So much of the work we do focuses on funding and amplifying climate change solutions created and led by solutionaries of every age, race, and gender. By working to ensure women’s voices are heard and represented in every sphere of society, celebrating their achievements, and recognizing their contributions, we can all work together to create a more inclusive world. #WomensEqualityDay #Empowerment #GenderEquality #WomenInLeadership #SupportWomen #EqualityForAll

All eyes are on Chicago this week and it's a great opportunity to highlight one of Chicago's incredible non-profits, Blacks In Green, and their founder and CEO Naomi Davis. As a creator of the 8 Principles of Green Village Building, Naomi is helping her community increase household income via the green economy. And now, with a $10M grant from the EPA, Blacks in Green will be expanding their support across the Midwest! #LetsCreateTheFuture #Chicago #ClimateJustice #Justice40Accelerator

What sets the frontline solutions and strategies of our grantee partners apart is that they address climate change and multiple other social issues simultaneously, which ultimately ensures a greater success rate for their local climate solutions. With increased support and resources, they achieved profound and far-reaching impact in 2023, which included: 🏅 10 major polices and campaign wins on issues including gas and drilling bans, public funding for clean energy, and disaster relief. 💨 Improved air quality and health as a result of reduced pollution for over 5.5 million people. 🌲Over 1.2 million acres of sacred lands protected or retuned to Indigenous stewardship. ⚡️Access to affordable clean energy from major power plants going 100% renewable gained for over 5 million people.
