The Four Organizations

CEEJH awarded $500,000 to community-based organizations through a "mini-grants" application process to support specific projects and capacity building in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

The four Virginia Organizations are Division Street Landscaping, Chester, VA; Little Bluestem Collective, Afton, VA; Pughsville Civic League, Suffolk, VA; and Southside ReLeaf, Richmond, VA, are all addressing the negative effects of climate change exacerbated by historic disenfranchisement coupled with proximity to environmental hazards and underlying social, economic and geographic vulnerabilities.
