Acterra: Partnering With Communities for Practical Climate Action
Bella is proud to support Acterra by providing unrestricted funds to fuel their mission of championing science-based climate solutions across the San Francisco Bay Area. By providing flexible funding, we are helping Acterra empower local communities through education and advocacy while advancing their vital work in clean energy, sustainable food systems, and environmental justice for a more resilient future.
Who they are
Acterra is a non-profit in the Bay Area, CA dedicated to environmental stewardship. They serve as a regional hub for climate action, connecting local communities, governments, and corporate partners to build an informed and empowered citizenry.
What they do
They implement community-focused programs centered on three main pillars:
Beneficial Electrification: Promoting the transition to all-electric buildings and vehicles.
Food and Climate: Addressing food waste, equity, and sustainable food preparation.
Education: Providing public lecture series and youth leadership programs (YBtC and ASAP) to mobilize the next generation of climate advocates.
Why it’s important
Acterra’s work is vital because it translates global climate concerns into local solutions. By providing the education and tools necessary to replace fossil fuels with clean energy and sustainable food practices, they help neighbors move away from fossil fuels in their daily lives and ensure community members have a platform to take meaningful action against the climate crisis.
