Community Climate Fund
The Williams College Community Climate Fund is a community carbon reduction program that invests in projects that benefit the local community. Born from an exploration of the possibility of local carbon offsets (a project that was ultimately not pursued), the Community Climate Fund (CCF) has invested in over 17 projects since 2019.
In developing criteria for the types of projects, the most important elements were that the projects positively impact the surrounding community, especially underserved populations, and that they could provide experiential learning opportunities for students, faculty, and staff. Ultimately this resulted in a mix of project types that support different strategies to carbon reduction.
The CCF has supported a number of different projects since its inception in 2019. The projects are summarized below. For additional information, the quarterly reports about the projects can be found at the bottom of this page.

The Community Climate Fund aligns with Williams’ commitment to mitigate climate change and making a positive impact on our local community. Going forward, we anticipate continuing to fund local carbon reduction projects in the community.
