Unified Ground Mapping Tool
The Unified Ground Mapping tool overlays key data sets to enable and empower community-based organizations and small businesses to be part of the green economy.  The datasets include:
  • Justice40 Environmental Justice Data for each census tract
  • Unified Ground curated datasets
    • Community-based organizations
    • Minority-owned businesses 
    • Funding opportunities
The goal is not to just highlight the historic under-investment in priority communities, but also the front-line organizations and community businesses that are ready for the opportunity to be involved in a just energy transition.
 
We can customize our mapping tool for any location in the United States. Contact us at jamil@unifiedground.com or 646.363.6712 for demo and more information.

What We do

The Challenge: Engaging Communities and Diversifying Supply Chains in Clean Energy Projects

  • High Barriers for Community Stakeholders to Participate in Green Projects
    • Complex processes and Lack of transparency about funding opportunities and decisions
    • Mis-alignment between project requirements and CBOs capacities and goals (SPARCC Report)
  • Community Engagement Inefficiencies
    • Traditional outreach methods fail to reach front line community organizations
    • Supply chain diversification and community engagement teams work separately – missing opportunities to improve outcomes for both groups
  • Immense complexity to braid together federal, state, city, philanthropic and private green investments to holistically meet community needs and meet climate and sustainability
  • New compliance and funding requirements
    • Government funding in many places require community engagement, DEI, and supplier diversification plans
    • Department of Energy funding opportunities require a community benefits plan which makes up 20 % of the evaluation of all proposals
