CET’s Community Climate Fund

CET’s Community Climate Fund is a vehicle for regional institutions and businesses to sponsor local, high-impact carbon reduction projects that help accelerate a just and equitable transition to the low-carbon economy. 

The fund started with an investment from Williams College in Williamstown, MA. Since 2019, Williams College has donated $300,000 to unlock a diverse portfolio of local carbon mitigation projects. Combined, these projects eliminated over 2,200 tons of lifetime CO2 emissions in Massachusetts, bolstered the financial stability of resource-constrained residents and businesses, and improved the health and comfort of buildings.  

Williams’ 2021-2022 investment enabled building material recovery from 38 homes and businesses, unlocked weatherization of six small businesses and nonprofits located in environmental justice communities across Massachusetts, sponsored a residential food scrap collection pilot in Williamstown, supported air source heat pump retrofits for two income-eligible customers in Ipswich, and provided a bridge loan to a cheese farmer in central Massachusetts that enabled installation of a ground-mounted solar PV array.

If your business, Foundation, or Donor Advised Fund is interested in pooling your funds together to accomplish target projects, please be in touch.
