SOLUTIONS PROJECT INC

Impact #1: The clean energy narrative is overwhelmingly positive, reflecting the faces and voices of impacted communities, women and leaders of color, and highlighting possibility and collaboration.

Impact #2: Movement advocates, especially at the frontlines, have the resources, tools, and support they need to effectively make clean, renewable energy more affordable and accessible, resulting in a more relevant and inviting movement.

Impact #3: Business, science, culture and community leaders across the clean energy movement are collaborating towards an equitable transition to 100% renewables, with philanthropy and government supporting this culture shift.

Over the next 12 months, we are throwing our support behind frontline partners in California and Georgia, along with those innovating in localized, replicable solutions like the democratization of rural electric co-ops, municipal bonds, and shared renewables. Across our integrated program, we will continue to support equitable implementation of 100% policy, a rise in clean energy leadership, and the implementation of scalable solutions as the foundation for a winning movement narrative. With scaled support, we will also strengthen frontline leadership in MI and WI to ensure 100% clean energy is adopted and implemented equitably.

Through grantmaking, storytelling, and capacity building, we lift up local clean energy leaders, invest in promising solutions, and build relationships between unlikely allies. Last year alone, we gave $1.4 million in grants to over 50 organizations and supported dozens organizations with media capacity and convenings. Results included:
* Passing 100% legislation in California and advancing equitable implementation plans for city commitments in Atlanta, Seattle, and Washington, DC, among others
* Helping low-income households in New York save $23 million in their electric bills through greater solar access programs
* Securing $400 million in climate resiliency investments in Miami, Florida
* A new solar array in West Virginia, which will keep over 10,000 pounds of coal in the ground
* Rapid response support to Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria, including providing 75 portable solar and battery storage units
* Making 20.2M+ impressions with our message on social media
* So far in 2018, driving publication of 105 news articles and op-eds that received an estimated 1.3 million views online.

We have supported women and leaders of color in California, New York, Georgia, Puerto Rico, Florida, and West Virginia, honoring these leaders for their work in renewable energy and supporting their efforts financially.

To date, we have invested more than $4M in frontline organizations, predominantly rooted in those communities most impacted by pollution and climate change. Those right time/right organization investments have leveraged hundreds of millions in public dollars, millions of other philanthropic dollars we've aligned, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in media services in support of community-driven clean energy solutions. Our most significant impacts are:

* Moving the vision of 100% clean energy from the margins to the mainstream in just five years with 100 city and 3 state commitments, including CA the 5th largest global economy signifying that 100% is not only possible, it is happening!

* Inspiring and supporting more than 75 NGOs across the environmental movement, intermediary organizations, and frontline grassroots organizations to join the 100% Network we co-founded with the Sierra Club

* Strengthening dozens of frontline organizations with grant dollars, media supports and major platforms for influence that have resulted in $400M resiliency infrastructure in Miami, $20M for low-income solar in NY state, and $1B for solar on affordable housing in CA just to name 3 major victories from our grantee partners
