Institute for Sustainable Communities

The Institute for Sustainable Communities is a non-profit that brings partners, expertise, and funding to the communities that are most vulnerable to climate change in the U.S. and abroad. We address real challenges people face, including every human’s right to live on a clean earth and work in a safe environment. We do this by co-creating solutions with locally-led organizations and connecting them to the resources they need to achieve sustainable change in the communities most vulnerable to climate change long after our involvement has concluded.

Partnership for resilient communities art with silhouettes of various people

Program Overview

The Partnership for Resilient Communities (PRC) works to transform the national urban climate resilience field by increasing the number of leaders of color in the urban field of practice, advancing approaches that build the resilience of people and places through influence-building and policy approaches, community education, and engagement, and the installation of clean energy and green infrastructure.
The PRC program is made possible by funding from JPB Foundation.

How it Works

Twelve selected community-based organizations as part of the PRC cohort have the opportunity to raise additional funds for targeted projects that work to transform local approaches to climate change resilience.

Funds will be awarded through a crowdgranting challenge, where community groups have the opportunity to collect additional support by engaging their communities and raising funds toward their project goal through crowdfunding efforts. Matching dollars will be awarded on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to $15,000.

Where will the funding go from the campaign?

Dismantling Energy Inequity in Communities of Color (DEICC)

In 2023, Patronicity collaborated with the Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC), Tides Foundation, and Wells Fargo Foundation to launch the DEICC Crowdgranting Program. This initiative empowered BIPOC-led organizations to address climate resilience and energy inequities in underserved communities through crowdgranting—combining crowdfunding with matching funds.

Organizations raised community support for projects like solar installations, green retrofits, and rain gardens, receiving up to $16,000 in matching funds. The program fostered community engagement, pride, and sustainable improvements, addressing critical energy and climate challenges in communities of color.
