MEET THE MOMENT – TOGETHER WE ARE THE SOLUTION

There is no escaping the avalanche of news as the federal government divests from decades of work on environmental response and climate policy.  For a region like ours— which is already feeling the results of major climate impacts on people, agriculture, and business— we know how dangerous this is!

We are paying attention to impacts on our local communities, partners, and collaborators. We are supporting and organizing to sustain our community climate goals, and move smartly forward on important work.

We are working to keep you informed about what is happening and what we can all do together.

HOW WE ARE RESPONDING

Cool Davis is leaning in on expanded collaboration and partnerships to build strong responses at all levels.

We are strengthening support for our operations by leveraging in-kind activities and redirecting discretionary resources to meet the moment.

Cool Davis is creating new giving and sponsorship opportunities to aid us in this critical work and help us build a stronger, more diverse funding portfolio to provide the response flexibility we need to keep you informed. We continue to educate about need, and support collaboration for solidarity in action.
