Battery Powered Awards $911K to Climate Action: Water
Battery Powered is excited to announce the grants made under its Climate Action: Water giving theme. As a community, our giving circle raised and granted $911,200 to ten extraordinary organizations working to ensure a secure water future for the U.S. West.
This funding culminates four months of learning focused on three key action areas: protecting and restoring freshwater ecosystems; the fight for clean, safe, and affordable drinking water; and water efficiency in the agricultural and urban sectors.
We are honored to support the vital work of a portfolio of organizations that are creating a world where people, wildlife, our environment, and our economy have the water they need to thrive, now and in the future.
