OUR MISSION

We are creating a climate for change.

At New Alpha, The Whitney M. Slater Foundation, and Kingdom Living Temple, we work alongside coalitions and other climate justice organizations, working together to create solutions to the world’s most pressing problems.

Our mission is to create a lasting impact through our initiatives, campaigns, and strategic partnerships. To accomplish our mission, we rely on support from brave groups and individuals just like you, who know that marginalized communities will suffer until we drive exponential change. With your help, we can break socioeconomic barriers and address water, air, land, and healthcare issues that still affect vulnerable communities today.

WHAT WE’RE DOING

Flagship programs

Freedom Land Community Forest

We have protected over 300 acres of wetland forest in South Carolina! The Freedom Land Community Forest is now protected forever. This 305-acre wetland forest is in the Britton’s Neck community. This land will not be logged and will benefit the community members who care for it.

South Carolina Wetlands

In the town of Florence, 1 in 5 people live in poverty. Here, climate change isn’t just a theory – it’s a factor of everyday life. New Alpha CDC works to make the community more resilient while driving engines of economic development that help residents thrive.

Community Solar Implementation

New Alpha CDC seeks to create small-scale solar projects that reduce energy burdens while also creating real opportunities for local businesses and job seekers.
