We're excited to announce the 17 local projects that are part of the fifth competitive round of the Climate Catalyst Innovation Fund! VCRD received over $137,494 in requests and was able to fund 17 projects totaling $60,500 to support local climate solutions in Vermont. We've also published a report with details and photos from the 2024 CCIF recipients that is linked below.

Some examples of the projects include emergency preparedness kits for older Vermonters, solar powered generators, flood recovery preparation for farmers, accredited solar energy workforce training, a program to promote bicycle commuting, and more. Learn more here:
