EarthWorks Secures $1.6M Grant to Champion Community-Driven Environmental Solutions

We are thrilled to announce that EarthWorks has successfully raised $1,600,000 in our latest funding round—a critical infusion of resources that will energize our mission to protect communities and the environment from the impacts of irresponsible mineral and energy development. As a dedicated nonprofit organization, EarthWorks relentlessly champions sustainable solutions by partnering with grassroots groups and local communities to reform outdated government policies, enhance corporate practices, and steer investment decisions toward ethical, responsible alternatives. This new funding will bolster our capacity to expose the multifaceted adverse effects—ranging from health and environmental to economic, social, and cultural—stemming from unsustainable mining and energy extraction practices. With $1,600,000 at our disposal, we plan to expand our research initiatives driven by sound science, enabling us to quantify and communicate the real-world impacts of these activities more effectively. Additionally, the funds will allow us to broaden our public outreach, empowering communities with the knowledge and tools they need to advocate for reforms and ensure that responsible materials sourcing and consumption become the norm. Our work not only illuminates critical issues behind irresponsible resource extraction but also serves as a catalyst for change, influencing both policy and practice at the corporate level. As we embark on this exciting new chapter, we remain committed to our core values of transparency, scientific integrity, and community collaboration. The support of our donors and partners has been instrumental to our progress, and this funding milestone will propel EarthWorks to further its impact on both local and global scales.
