“This secion corresponds to Part III, Line 4a - Sustain Our Future Foundations (SOFF) grant programs empower communities to define and pursue their own outcomes while strengthening their capacities to address environmental challenges. SOFF uses a multifaceted approach to achieve environmental justice and positive community impact. The Foundations programs are organized into the following three program areas: the Sustainable Justice Training Institute, the Regenerative Economy Program, and the Power Shift Grants Program. This years grantmaking focused on our Sustainable Justice HBCU fellowship, which provides Historically Black College and University (HBCU) students with professional experiences in sustainability and environmental justice, leadership development coaching, and connections with experts in the sustainability and environmental justice industry to pipeline HBCU students into sustainability careers. As part of this grant project, seven students from HBCUs received internship stipends and scholarships, while four nonprofit organizations were awarded general operating grants to support their environmental justice initiatives.”
