DescWe envision a world where everyone has affordable housing, meaningful work, and a healthy place to live. A world created for the people, by the people. 100% for 100%. We give grants to the dozens of organizations closest to the problems of - and solutions to - pollution and climate change. We also help our partners tell their stories in the media so people everywhere can see what's working in the most unlikely of places. Finally, we get the best climate solutions in front of decision makers in government, business and philanthropy so they put their money behind what works. Connect: We facilitate partnerships and group co-learning, and make introductions to build a collaborative culture and achieve collective impact.Desc

The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized.
