Sustainable Georgia Futures, a Black-woman-led climate justice organization in Georgia, received a 2024-2025 Drawdown Georgia Climate Solutions & Equity Grant to expand its WeatheRise weatherization program and develop a Pilot Solar Pre-Apprenticeship Program in partnership with local organizations including the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. The initiative aims to provide solar installation training and certifications to residents in historically disinvested communities of color, addressing energy burdens and creating equitable workforce development opportunities in Georgia's growing solar industry.
