Grant Proposal Review

To build a collective of individuals at or associated with large, well-funded, environmental organizations and other institutions with relative and positional authority in the environmental movement (“Big Greens”) dedicated to redistributing environmental authority, leadership, and influence to grassroots networks (REALIGN). Members of the collective are dedicated to advancing racial, economic, and environmental justice; pressing for Big Greens to appropriately work with communities to achieve environmental justice; and to dismantling supremacy culture at Big Greens. It is a collective goal to develop practices to prioritize the voices, stories, and leadership of people that have been excluded from decision-making and/or harmed by past/current environmental injustices. We want to see Big Greens work urgently to ensure that all communities have access to safe, healthy, and affordable housing, clean air, clean water, nutritious food, affordable clean energy, and everything else they need to thrive–with no one left behind. We aim to identify and push for pathways for change at Big Greens that center the collective goals.
