Here’s what that support makes possible, in the words of our team:
"When we have support, we can meet with more residents one-on-one to help them navigate electrification options, rebates, and next steps - not just hand them a fact sheet. It also allows us to host more events, like EV incentive workshops and the Green@Home Tours, reaching more people and inspiring them to make the switch to electric.”
— Irvin Rivero, Beneficial Electrification Manager
"Now when climate action is seeing drastic cutbacks at the federal level, your monthly contribution helps Acterra build grassroots support and grow coalitions for key policy areas like building electrification and reach codes, EV charging access, and stronger local food systems here in the Bay Area. Your support lays the foundation for systemic change through policy advocacy."
— Wendy Chou, Coalition and Project Senior Manager
“With steady support, we can reach more schools, students, farmers, and community members with innovative ways to explore healthy, local food - from visiting family farms to preparing wholesome meals - rather than just sharing nutrition tips. It also allows us to expand our food events and workshops, giving more people hands-on experience with fresh, seasonal ingredients, learn about induction cooking and plant-based diet solutions, and discover life-long healthy eating habits that benefit both their health and the planet.”
— Linda Liang, Farm to School Program Manager
“Monthly giving allows us to plan more school visits and field trips so teachers and students aren’t left waiting or turned away due to funding uncertainty. It also lets us run additional high school cohorts, where students can tackle real climate challenges and develop practical solutions.”
— Lily de la Espriella, Education Senior Manager

This kind of work depends on consistency. Monthly gifts - at any level - help us retain staff capacity, avoid program interruptions, and keep showing up for our community.
If you’ve been considering joining, now is the moment. Thank you for supporting local climate action and for being part of Acterra’s community.
With appreciation,
Lauren Weston,
Executive Director
