Support Our Work

Menlo Spark is an independent nonprofit helping Menlo Park adopt a suite of measures by 2025 that are necessary to reach zero carbon by 2030, as we advance equity, economic vitality, and community health.

We collaborate with local government, businesses, residents, and top experts to apply proven sustainability measures to Menlo Park through community engagement.

Our key focus areas include:

• Building Electrification: Coordinating a citywide shift to fully electric heating and appliances, that avoids fossil fuel use in homes and buildings.
• Transportation: Increasing safety and accessibility of walking and biking, providing more public transit choices, and supporting the adoption of electric and zero-emission vehicles.
• Sustainable Living: Promoting simple everyday actions to reduce climate impacts.
• Equitable Access:  Creating assistance programs, especially for low- and moderate-income households, and other measures to ensure an equitable and affordable transition.
