The Solutions Project's approach is rooted in the belief that communities experiencing the worst effects of climate change — Black, Indigenous, immigrant, and other communities of color, and particularly women of color — are best equipped to tackle the root causes of the climate crisis and lead the way toward a just climate transition that benefits everyone. These frontline leaders are advancing ground-up, systemic climate solutions that promote climate action, clean energy, green infrastructure, community resilience, and equity in the fight against climate change.
TSP advances its vision through three core strategies:
-- Grantmaking: TSP deploys resources to high-impact grassroots organizations working at the frontlines of climate solutions. TSP is often its grantees' first major funder and the critical catalyst that allows them to scale.
-- Narrative Communications: TSP leverages media, culture, and storytelling to shift dominant climate narratives, elevate frontline leadership and ground-up innovations, and inspire hope, solidarity, and collective action.
-- Collaboration: TSP builds bridges within and beyond climate, fostering collaborations across coalitions, networks, media, philanthropy, government, and the public, and unlocking new opportunities for climate solutions to scale.
Since 2014, TSP has deployed over $55 million to more than 360 grassroots groups creating systemic change. As a direct result of their investments, its grantees have delivered concrete impact, illustrating the high potential for combating the climate crisis from the ground up. Over the past three years alone, TSP's grantees:
-- Provided direct services to over 1 million people
-- Secured climate policies and clean energy projects benefiting over 100 million people
-- Reduced 1.15M metric tons of CO2 annually from just 3 campaign wins in New York
TSP's narrative strategies also elevated frontline leadership and amplified their climate solutions, contributing to a 7x increase in clean energy news featuring communities of color and a 4x rise in equity-framed media, reaching a potential audience of 11 billion.
