| $250,000 | 2021 | SUMMIT CHARITABLE FOUNDATION INC | This fund supports the development of sustainable mobility and equitable access. In Round 2, support for local advocacy efforts will be continued by: Supporting vital ongoing advocacy work reallocating street and parking space to allow more room for walking, cycling, and transit operations; highlighting benefits gained by interfacing with other urban systems like health, housing, and food; and strengthening the capacity of local mobility advocacy groups by supporting coalition building to achieve long-term system change. |

| $250,000 | 2020 | SUMMIT CHARITABLE FOUNDATION INC | This proposal is to start a matching fund that pairs pooled contributions from national foundations with local foundation funds to address needs and opportunities in sustainable and equitable mobility in a timely way. The first round of this fund is scheduled for design and release in July 2020, so that it can be quickly deployed to: (1) support a rapid response to the current crisis in transit, and (2) take advantage of this opportunity to carve out more public space for walking and biking. A future round may focus on guiding recovery efforts to support sustainability and equity. We expect to achieve 3-6 new grantees working to address policy reform and strengthening of transit service, biking, and walking in our major metropolitan regions. A collaborative of foundations who have been active in the field of urban transportation policy have learned that the key to improving urban transportation is to support more effective community-based advocacy. The philanthropic strategy involves helping civic organizations and local groups to amplify residents’ voices on the need for expanded transit, biking, walking and urban planning that enables people to thrive without depending on an automobile. The world will be different at the end of this grant term. This fund will have influenced changes in transportation policies for more equitable and environmentally beneficial transportation in U.S. Metropolitan regions. |
