With a focus on supporting New York State’s clean energy transition, our community investments address climate change, environmental stewardship, job creation, and social justice matters throughout New York City and Westchester County. Our community investments include:

1. Climate Change and Environmental Stewardship: With a strong focus on climate adaptation in communities most at risk, our investees’ programs are helping vulnerable communities prepare for and respond to the challenges posed by rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and other climate-related risks.
2. Clean Energy and Technology Careers: Our grantee organizations are committed to preparing candidates for careers in clean energy and technology. Grantees’ programs provide educational opportunities, vocational training, and internships that help them gain experience and develop skills employers are seeking in candidates for energy transition roles.
3. Social Justice: Our grants primarily support climate resilience projects that address systemic barriers to DACs’ access to climate solutions and community advocacy training opportunities.

In 2024, we awarded $19 million in grants to local nonprofit organizations; with a majority of the community investments benefiting DACs in our service areas.

Over the course of 2024, more than 400 of our employees volunteered about 3,600 hours of their time engaged in projects that had a positive impact including:

• Removing invasive species from Governor’s Island
• Building teaching gardens for children with GrowNYC
• Constructing gabion cages with Billion Oyster Project
• Composting with Earth Matter
