$500,000 for climate solutions work over the next two years was awarded to Citizens Climate Education, the educational arm of Citizens Climate Lobby, by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
The MacArthur Foundation’s commitment to Citizens’ Climate Education follows its August 2015 announcement of a “big bet” on its Climate Solutions program. During the announcement, Foundation President Julia Stasch described such big bets as large commitments that would, she said, “strive toward transformative change in areas of profound concern. This is not a search for quick fixes or easy wins, but an all-in, timely commitment – of talent, resources, time, and reputation – to real change that matters for many, many people.”
