Call for applications Climate Resilience Partner Program

The Office of Sustainability (OOS) invites community-based organizations to apply for the Climate Resilience Partner Program, seeking 18 partners to aid in developing Philadelphia's Climate Resilience Plan. Each partner will play a vital role in engaging local communities, receiving training in climate fundamentals and a $10,000 grant to support their initiatives. The program emphasizes the importance of community input, particularly from populations most impacted by climate change. Organizations will nominate a Partner Ambassador to act as the main liaison, facilitating discussions on community concerns and resilience strategies. Applications are due by 5 p.

This initiative aligns with Philadelphia's efforts to combat climate change effects such as extreme weather and flooding. By incorporating local voices, the program aims to create a more equitable and effective resilience plan. The project is in collaboration with the Hinge Collective and supported by the William Penn Foundation.
