Jefferson County Sustainability Commission Fund

Make an historic impact on the health of our community and environment in Jeffco.

This Fund, managed by Jefferson County and volunteers who form the Jefferson County Sustainability Commission, seeks to collect financial contributions from committed community members, organizations and businesses wanting to take immediate action against climate change.

In 2021, we raised $50,000 to help fund the development of Jefferson County's first Climate Action Plan (CAP). Thank you for your support!

In 2022, the CAP was developed over a 12-month process and adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, featuring goals and strategies to reduce GHG emissions and bolster our community's resilience, all while centering equity along the way.

In 2023, we hit the ground running with implementation of the CAP's many solutions.

Current Project Highlight: Sustainability in Jeffco Schools with Mountain Mamas

Your financial contribution at this time supports a new partnership with Mountain Mamas to introduce a suite of sustainability programming into the Jefferson County School District, including composting, waste reduction, renewable energy, and clean transportation. This initiative directly aligns with several solutions in the CAP, as well as educating our young ones about how they can be a part of the solution. Mountain Mamas is a non-profit committed to protecting our air, water, climate and public lands for future generations.
