Dream.Org is a national 501c3 nonprofit organization that brings people together across tech, finance, policy, culture, and community to identify breakthrough systems-change solutions to three pressing issues: poverty, pollution, and prisons. Our Transformative Communities program has a goal of ensuring at least 40% of federal climate investments reach low-income disadvantaged communities (LIDACs) by identifying climate infrastructure projects and preparing them to compete and win Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) dollars for community-scale transformation.
Transformative Communities Offerings are deployed based on the alignment of goals and the current stage of the climate infrastructure project. In general, the development of a climate project pipeline consists of:
- A community collectively IDs the large climate infrastructure project they want to pursue together.
- Mapping out the project scope to ID the proper funding sources. Applying to funding opportunities.
- Applying for additional funding to fill funding gaps.
- Ensuring all partnerships are solidified to effectively carry out the project.
