The Future is InOurHands
The Future is InOurHands


Our purpose is to provide all people with a way to combat climate change and inequality, empowering them with the means to directly fund a swift transition to clean energy in a way that measurably benefits disadvantaged communities.
Our work is guided by 3 core principles:
Radical Innovation
Solving big problems requires big ideas. When challenged, we collaborate and innovate rather than settling.
Radical Sustainability
Charity at its best means no need for future charity — we will always strive to work ourselves out of a job, and our participation in any community should leave no need for our help in the future.
Radical Transparency
Everyone has the right to know how our donations are being spent, and have access to the resources to track their progress.
What Makes
100% Spent on Projects
We take every bit of every dollar you donate and use it to finance community-owned renewable energy projects in marginalized communities.
100% Local Benefit
Our projects produce local energy, which creates local revenue.
100% Regenerative
Locally-owned renewables mean energy security and independence from fluctuations in the energy market.
100% Community Owned
That new cashflow can provide financial support for local projects and, over time, repay the cost of the installation.
100% Revolutionary
Every dollar that comes back to
