Just Transition Fund


  • About Us

    The Just Transition Fund is on a mission to create economic opportunity for the frontline communities and workers hardest hit by the transition away from coal. As a hybrid initiative—part grantmaker, part catalyst—we provide investments to help communities create 21st-century jobs and technical assistance to empower local leaders to act. Our goal is to advance economic solutions that are equitable, inclusive, and low carbon. We work to:

    • Strengthen local economies by ensuring inclusive and equitable economic growth
    • Build the resilience of low-income workers
    • Accelerate the development of low-carbon solutions, and
    • Grow and scale the national coal community transition movement.

    Guided by a belief in the power of communities, the Fund leverages public and private resources, advances learning, and guides policy change to accelerate and scale an equitable and just economic transition—from the ground up.
