Grantee Spotlight: Georgia Organics & McIntosh S.E.E.D. 

Staff from the Ray C. Anderson Foundation and the Sapelo Foundation recently visited Berry Family Farms, a fifth generation family farm in Long County, GA. The visit was part of a statewide tour of Drawdown Georgia Climate Solutions and Equity Grant recipients.

Georgia Organics and McIntosh Sustainable Environment and Economic Development (S.E.E.D.) were in the first cohort of the Drawdown Georgia grants in 2023-24 when they received $200,000 over two years to provide education, awareness and technical assistance for 10 Coastal Georgia farmers who sought to implement climate-smart agriculture practices.

Berry Farms applied for and received a cost share from the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) and received a mini-grant from the Drawdown Georgia funds, allowing them to install a 5 kW solar array to provide clean energy while reducing operating costs.

The Journey Towards Net Zero

The Drawdown Georgia Business Compact – over 70 members strong – leverages the collective impact of the Georgia business community to achieve net zero carbon emissions in the state through a just, prosperous, and sustainable transition. David Eady, the Center’s director of industry engagement, was featured on the Technology Association of Georgia’s “Sustainability Talk” podcast – highlighting how business drives Georgia’s clean energy future. They had an outstanding turnout at their May 2025 All Hands Meeting, where they shared updates, facilitated meaningful connections, and discussed how to make an impact during the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Atlanta. Recent updates include advancing a Georgia forest carbon market, supporting a new sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) hub, and unlocking carbon credit potential in building retrofits and weatherization.

Grantee Spotlight: Green Team of English Avenue and the Westside Passive Cooling Tree Equity Partnership 

The Ray C. Anderson Foundation and Tull Charitable Foundation recently visited the Green Team of English Avenue (GTOEA), representing all of the foundations that fund the Drawdown Georgia Climate Solutions & Equity Grants.

They met with the GTOEA founder, Annie Moore, as well as her co-applicants from Carinalis Consulting and Research and Climate Consortium of the Commons, along with her Community Advisory Council and other interested community leaders from the Atlanta communities of English Avenue and Vine City.

GTOEA is using its Drawdown Georgia Grant to address unequitable outcomes that have occurred through the EPA’s removal of legacy lead waste from the soil. The existing lead is a byproduct of the steel industry that once operated in the area. To date, much of the tree cover that once existed in English Avenue and Vine City has been removed, along with truckloads of topsoil. Read the full story.

Connecting the Dots Between Food Waste, Food Access, and Public Health in Georgia

A significant portion of the food we produce is wasted, ending up in landfills instead of nourishing people. This food also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and missed opportunities to support communities facing food insecurity. 

Goodr is an Atlanta-based company focused on reducing food waste and hunger. With the motto “Feed more, waste less,” Goodr helps businesses divert edible food waste from landfills by transporting it to nonprofits in food-insecure communities.

Goodr has also opened 29 school-based grocery stores and mobile markets with the goal of giving food-insecure families access to healthy meals in a stress-free and dignified shopping experience. Their newest project is the Goodr Community Market, a standalone store that offers even more opportunities. Read the full blog from Drawdown Georgia.

• Action Against Hunger nutrition teams in Gaza are witnessing the highest number of cases of severe acute malnutrition since the beginning of its nutrition programming in 2024, both in pregnant and lactating women and in children under the age of 5.

NEW YORK, August 22, 2025 /3BL/ – The Famine Review Committee (FRC) has officially confirmed famine (IPC Phase 5) in Gaza Governorate, one of the few times such a classification has ever been declared globally. Over half million people in the Gaza Strip are facing catastrophic conditions characterized by starvation, destitution, and death. The crisis is projected to expand to Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis by the end of September.

Action Against Hunger teams on the ground are witnessing alarming rates of severe acute malnutrition, especially among children under 5 and pregnant or breastfeeding women. In July and August alone, Action Against Hunger nutrition teams have received more than 400 cases of malnourished children, 20% of them severe.

“Our nutrition teams are witnessing the highest number of severe acute malnutrition cases since we began nutrition operations in Gaza in 2024,” said an Action Against Hunger staff member in Deir al-Balah. “Pregnant and breastfeeding women face double the risk: exhausted bodies, harsh hunger, and a severe lack of essential health and nutrition support.”

Data from the UN and other INGOs in Gaza reveals that the total number of children under five admitted for acute malnutrition treatment have been surging:

• 5,119 children in May, a 148% increase from February,
• 6,500 children in June, the highest since October 2023, and
• Over 5,000 additional cases in just the first two weeks of July.

The FRC report projects that by June 2026, at least 132,000 children under five will be at risk of death from acute malnutrition, including over 41,000 severe cases.

“It is important to note that many families do not have the resources to arrive at humanitarian nutrition sites to receive treatment. Also, there is a lack of nutrition supplies, hindering the capacity to treat such cases in a timely manner. We also noted that many breastfeeding and pregnant mothers suffer from malnutrition themselves”, said an Action Against Hunger staff member in Gaza.

“As a result of nearly two years of continued forcible transfer, airstrikes, and continuous disrupted and little access to food and water, Gaza’s entire population has been compelled to rely on humanitarian food aid as a primary source of sustenance, with an increasing number of extreme vulnerability under the mothers and their children that are undernourished”, said Vincent Stehli, Action Against Hunger Head of Operations. “The current entry of aid is alarmingly insufficient in the face of widespread and rapidly increasing famine”, added Vincent Stehli.

Despite the escalating crisis, humanitarian aid remains severely restricted. Action Against Hunger, like other INGOs, is facing administrative barriers in importing goods, while local food production is nearly impossible. Only 1.5% of Gaza’s cropland remains accessible and undamaged, and staple food prices have skyrocketed by 4,000% compared to pre-October 2023 levels. Shelter conditions are dire, and further displacement from Gaza City threatens to worsen the situation.

Action Against Hunger urgently calls for a permanent ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, and full, large-scale, and sustained access for humanitarian actors. Only through coordinated and unhindered efforts can we deliver the necessary response to avert further loss of life in Gaza. “An immediate ceasefire and end to the conflict is critical to enabling an unimpeded, large-scale humanitarian response that can save lives. Famine must be stopped now”, concluded Vincent Stehli.

Testimonies from Gaza: “When was the last time you had a proper meal?” 

“I have a family of seven. The last time we had a real full meal was two weeks ago. It was fish” – Palestinian in Deir al Balah.

“The last time we had a real meal was during the temporary ceasefire. But nowadays we only eat pasta or bread” – Palestinian in Deir al Balah.

“I have two kids and a wife. The last time we had a meal, which was an eggplant salad, was fifteen days ago. It was a blessing. I got eggplant and tahini sauce, and my wife and I made it for all four of us” – Palestinian in Deir al Balah.

Over the years, the PSEG Foundation and the Neighborhood Partner Program has supported hundreds of local nonprofits in carrying out their missions, helping them best serve the communities they know deeply. As a dedicated community partner, the PSEG Foundation is focused on strengthening the capacity, resilience, and impact of local nonprofits to create lasting, positive change. Because investing in communities isn’t just a motto or trend — it’s a long-term commitment to building a better future together, one grant and one good neighbor at a time.

Since 2014, the PSEG Foundation’s Neighborhood Partners Program (NPP) has helped hundreds of local nonprofits do what they do best — support the people and places they know by heart.
And at the heart of NPP are three guiding pillars: environmental sustainability, social justice and equity, and economic empowerment. Organizations receive funding to expand outreach, strengthen operations, and scale programs that directly impact people’s lives.

“Our mission is deeply rooted in community investment,” shared Calvin Ledford Jr., president, PSEG Foundation. “We’ve grown from simply funding good ideas to building long-term partnerships with nonprofits we now consider trusted collaborators.”

Take America’s Grow-A-Row, for example. Headquartered in New Jersey, With over 400 acres of farmland, the organization grows and donates fresh produce to food-insecure families by distributing an astounding 3.6 million pounds of fruits and vegetables to those in need.

In Camden, Cathedral Kitchen offers more than meals, it provides pathways out of poverty. Through a free, 15-week culinary program, the organization has trained nearly 600 unemployed and under-resourced residents, with 90% securing jobs within three months of graduation.

More Than Bootstraps, is a New Jersey nonprofit that offers a peer-powered mentorship program for first-generation college students, and has grown from 11 to 50 active participants, building a support system that bridges the gap between ambition and opportunity.

In Central Jersey, HomeFront provides not only shelter and meals (over 1.8 million served), but also stability, self-sufficiency programs, and hope for families experiencing homelessness.

These stories are just a glimpse into what’s possible when large institutions back grassroots dreams with programs such as NPP. To date, the Foundation has invested nearly $8 million in more than 400 nonprofit organizations across New Jersey and Long Island. These partners represent a wide range of missions, but they share a common goal: building more equitable, sustainable, and empowered communities.

In 2024, about 2,500 employees donated approximately 24,000 hours to support various initiatives including food, clothing, blood, gift and school supply drives, as well as mentoring, assisting with meal prep and hygiene kits, caring for animals, environmental clean-ups and tree plantings. Additionally, last year about 900 nonprofits benefited from approximately $1.8 million in employee giving and matched dollars. In the past 10 years, that impact was over $9 million in PSEG Foundation matches to organizations focused on areas including health and human services, education, civic and community services and arts and culture.

Through all of its programs, the Foundation serves a wide spectrum of communities often overlooked or underserved. Whether it’s a small food pantry or a growing job-readiness initiative, the goal is the same: support organizations that are meeting real needs, right now.

By funding local changemakers who know their neighborhoods best, the PSEG Foundation ensures real impact flows from the ground up through the Neighborhood Partners Program. A focus on these organizations reinforces the commitments to our pillars, our communities, and our customers. Together, leading change on issues and opportunities impacting our communities and working towards collaborative solutions – now and into the future.

Air emissions from our wood products facilities are generated primarily from the combustion of fuels to generate energy. Combustion of residual wood in boilers that produce steam energy for use in the kilns to dry lumber produces combustion-typical emissions such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs), and particulate matter (PM). When drying lumber in a kiln, wood extractives in the form of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), HAPs, and PM (formed from the condensation of VOCs) are released. The air emissions are limited under several federal and state regulatory programs such as the National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). The performance standards created by these regulatory programs are implemented at our facilities in permitting programs that establish source-specific operating conditions. These permits guide our facilities in their ongoing efforts to meet the regulatory performance standards.

We regularly measure and report air emissions at each of our facilities and monitor compliance with emission limits for each source and emission type established in our permits. Stack emissions from larger sources like wood-fired boilers are measured by qualified third-party testing companies on a set schedule defined in our permits. The data are regularly collected to verify compliance with various emission limits for select pollutants. We use various technologies at our manufacturing facilities to monitor key emission sources and associated emissions control devices to ensure compliance with applicable air emissions standards. Quality assurance and quality control procedures have been implemented to ensure data integrity and third-party specialists are used to perform periodic maintenance and calibration checks on the facilities that use Continuous Opacity Monitoring Systems. In addition, agency-accepted work practice standards are used to minimize air quality impacts and each site is subject to an internal audit every other year.

We evaluate the operation and maintenance of all our emission sources and their associated control devices. Proper design, operation, and maintenance of the equipment minimizes emissions and is an important part of our air quality commitments. Our facilities also utilize cyclones, baghouses, and/or electrostatic precipitators to control particulate emissions. In addition, our St. Maries, Idaho plywood facility operates special air pollution control equipment to satisfy requirements under applicable regulations. In compliance with the applicable regulations, exhaust from the heated zones of the plywood veneer dryers is collected and routed to a regenerative catalytic oxidizer (RCO) for emissions control.
