Our Focus
The Fund’s mission is to screen, evaluate, and provide funding to projects that offer promising methods of reducing the growth in greenhouse gas emissions, and to permanently retire the credits that these projects generate. By retiring credits, additional demand for offsets will lead to funding for new projects generating new greenhouse gas reduction and credits. The Fund will also educate the public to the alternatives to offsetting – specifically the impact of conservation and lifestyle choices on reducing the potential impact of climate change. Finally The Fund will assist project providers in establishing acceptable standards and verification procedures.
The primary emphasis of The Fund is on creating market access for projects with additional biodiversity, developmental, and ethical/fair trade benefits, including clean cookstove/solar cooking initiatives.

The primary issue addressed is the lack of awareness of the benefits of supporting these efforts, and development of acceptable standards which allow projects to access the developing voluntary/compliance carbon markets in the US.
Primarily focused on facilitating standards, funding, and corporate project support.
Curious to know whether technology standards can overcome local usage/cultural issues.
