Donnel Baird is a community organizer in every sense of the phrase. As a child growing up in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, Donnel witnessed firsthand the realities of not having reliable power at home.
It was this experience that inspired Donnel to found BlocPower, an organization dedicated to reducing greenhouse gases and lowering utility rates for families in underserved communities across the country. Its goal is to help make city buildings greener, smarter, and healthier.
You can read about Donnel’s story in our annual impact magazine, which highlights some of the people, projects, and partnerships that help demonstrate what can be accomplished when individuals – like Donnel – wake up every morning determined to make a difference in the world.
We hope these stories will inspire you as much as they've inspired us.
