Our Programs
Community Assistance for Climate Equity (CACE) is a suite of capacity building and technical assistance programs that serve underinvested communities at the frontlines of the climate crisis. CACE programs promote cross-sectoral partnerships, coordination, community leadership, and peer exchanges so that underinvested communities can access funding for climate action. The CACE team also authored the Technical Assistance Guidelines, which offers guidance and best practices to support agencies in evaluating options, making key decisions, and avoiding pitfalls as they develop effective TA programs.
The Tribal Capacity Building Pilot Program provides funding and technical assistance to California Native American tribes to build staff capacity to advance tribes’ climate-related work.

CACE is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing GHG emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment– particularly in disadvantaged communities. The Cap-and-Trade program also creates a financial incentive for industries to invest in clean technologies and develop innovative ways to reduce pollution. California Climate Investments projects include affordable housing, renewable energy, public transportation, zero-emission vehicles, environmental restoration, more sustainable agriculture, recycling, and much more. At least 35 percent of these investments are located within and benefiting residents of disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low-income households across California.
