Cooler Communities

The Harold Grinspoon Charitable Foundation’s Cooler Communities Program has been engaging K-12 students across all subjects in learning about climate solutions and energy conservation since 2019. Our mission is to inspire young learners to make a difference at home and in their communities. Cooler Communities supports educators to introduce climate solutions learning into the classroom with the Cooler Communities school grant program, which connects classroom learning to climate solutions in MA communities, empowering teachers and students to be local change agents.  Ener-G-save, a community outreach program that aims to connect historically underserved communities to clean heat and energy efficiency incentives. And The Energy Detectives, an free book for students that educates about energy efficiency and comes with developed, standards aligned curriculum for teachers, as well as links to resources for families that will help them save energy and money, and protect their health.
