Focus Areas
Orange and Rockland proudly funds organizations that share our vision to help educate and mitigate the impact of extreme weather and improve resiliency in their community, with a focus on supporting disadvantaged communities, and training for green jobs.
Our philanthropic initiatives power the vitality of our communities and help ensure all New Yorkers and New Jerseyans benefit from a more sustainable energy grid.
Our efforts focus on:
Adaptation & Mitigation to Increases in Extreme Weather
We will harness nature-based solutions to preserve and restore our natural environment while preparing communities to adjust to the increasing impacts of extreme weather.
Social Justice and Community Resilience
We are applying our resources to help organizations and social movements that support community resilience and economic empowerment and opportunity—through skill building, action, advocacy.
Clean Energy and Technology Careers
We will foster a new generation of workers by supporting access to education, skills training, economic support, and hiring and/or career advancement opportunities. We are preparing more New Yorkers for well-paying jobs in emerging and in-demand clean energy, technology, and community resilience careers.
