On Give 8/28, you can help Black communities in Durham, NC, prepare for climate change and lead the way toward sustainable solutions.

Black and low-wealth neighborhoods are hit hardest by flooding, extreme heat, and pollution, yet have the fewest resources to recover. As a Black-led nonprofit, Planning Ahead equips families with resilience training, emergency toolkits, and green workforce opportunities so they don’t just survive climate impacts — they thrive.

This year, our goal is to raise $5,000 to equip 200 families with the knowledge and tools they need to stay safe and resilient.

What your gift makes possible:

$25 = Emergency flood & heat safety kit for one family (flashlight, water storage, first aid)
$50 = Resilience training for 10 residents
$100 = Environmental education for 25 youth
$250 = A complete community workshop reaching dozens of families

“Before Planning Ahead, I didn’t know how to prepare my family for floods and heatwaves. Now, I feel confident and connected.”
— Walnut Creek Watershed Learning Network participant
