The Just Transition Fund (JTF) is the only U.S. national philanthropic initiative focused solely on creating an equitable, inclusive, and low-carbon future for communities as they transition away from coal. 

We believe in place-based strategies and solutions that are equitable, inclusive, and low-carbon to expand workforce development, promote economic diversification, and improve infrastructure. 

The JTF was initially established by the Rockefeller Family Fund and the Appalachia Funders Network to help local organizations secure funding through the POWER Initiative, the first federal program targeted to communities impacted by the changing coal economy. In the process, we helped jumpstart the engagement of national philanthropy and showcased the innovative, ground-up ways that local communities are working to revitalize their local economies.

We’ve evolved our approach over the years to catalyze and support the national just transition movement more broadly, while helping more communities tap into a growing number of federal funding opportunities.
