If we are to sustain and build on the momentum of decades of climate work, it will be because states and local communities in this country do not let the challenges of this time stop us; instead, we come together and forge a path forward. A Climate to Thrive is committed to this mission. Since January, we have worked tirelessly, creatively, and collaboratively to identify, and share that the work is not only still possible, but essential. You can find example after example in our 2025 Report.
At the same time, we have received requests from all over the state to step up our efforts and programs. We have been asked to increase offerings of the Climate Ambassadors Program, which supports participants of all ages in stepping into local climate solutions. We have been asked to take the middle school curriculum into schools throughout the state. We have received unprecedented interest in our Local Leads the Way program, which supports community-driven climate action initiatives throughout Maine (and beyond!) through regular meetings, project groups, platforms for resource sharing and collaboration, and, most recently, through our community-driven climate action toolkit. We are receiving calls from all corners of the state to support communities as they launch their own projects to address everything from energy independence, to storm recovery, to changes in agriculture and fisheries. Finally, we are receiving calls to help ensure that the implementation of Maine’s climate action plan, Maine Won’t Wait, continues.
Answering these calls to provide our leadership and experience in the midst of the loss of federal support requires additional capacity. Over the past two years, our budget grew by at least $100,000 each year in federal funding; that funding is no longer available.
This year’s annual fundraising is our most important yet. We cannot maintain our momentum and meet the needs of our community and state without your support. We know this work is more important than ever, and we are not backing down.
ACTT began exactly ten years ago this fall. We started at a time when there was very little federal and state action or funding to address climate change. We started in response to that leadership void. We know how to move this work forward, but in order to do that we need your support.
Your support says loudly and clearly that we as a community and state are committed to working together to change the course of climate change. Your commitment allows us to meet this next challenge head on as we step into our next decade of action. Your support is needed now more than ever for us, our children, and our planet.
