Across Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin, communities are working toward a future where every family can afford to heat and cool their home, breathe clean indoor air, and benefit from a healthier, more sustainable built environment.

For years, the Midwest Building Decarbonization Coalition has connected advocates, community organizations, policy leaders, and frontline communities to advance equitable building decarbonization throughout the region.

But building a more just and sustainable future takes more than a shared vision. It takes collective investment.

Today, MWBDC is launching Eight States. One Coalition. A Future Worth Funding., a public fundraising campaign with a goal of raising $25,000 to help sustain our regional work, strengthen community partnerships, and support the next chapter of our coalition.

Every contribution brings us closer to sustaining the partnerships, programs, and collective leadership that make this coalition possible.

Whether you give $10, $25, $50, $100, or more, your investment helps strengthen a movement working toward healthier homes, affordable energy, and more equitable communities.

Why Your Support Matters.

Buildings are more than structures.

They are where families live, children grow, communities gather, and futures take shape.

Yet too many households continue to face rising utility bills, unhealthy indoor environments,

aging infrastructure, and barriers to accessing clean-energy improvements.

MWBDC works to connect these challenges with solutions grounded in affordability,

environmental justice, community leadership, and regional collaboration.


Your contribution helps sustain:

  • Regional Collaboration: Connecting advocates and organizations across eight Midwestern states.

  • Environmental & Climate Justice: Elevating communities disproportionately impacted by energy insecurity, pollution, and housing inequities.

  • Healthy & Affordable Homes: Advancing solutions that improve indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and household affordability.

  • Community Leadership: Supporting frontline voices and meaningful participation in decisions affecting their communities.

  • Education & Advocacy: Providing accessible resources, training, and opportunities for collective action.

Eight states. Hundreds of partners and advocates.

One shared commitment to a Midwest where everyone can live in a healthy, affordable, and climate-resilient home.

We have built the relationships. We have strengthened the movement. Now, together, we can invest in what comes next.
