The Thomasville Community Development Corporation (TCDC) has been named the recipient of a two-year Drawdown Georgia Climate Solutions & Equity Grant of $100,000 per year.

TCDC is part of the third cohort to receive grant funding from five Georgia-based family foundations, focused on climate solutions that lift people up and advance community priorities with the ultimate goal of the climate justice movement.

TCDC will apply plant-based diet and residential solar climate solutions to scale existing work in the historic Dewey City neighborhood. They will be working to decrease the energy cost burdens for residents in 52 senior apartments while improving the health outcomes of hundreds of residents in the surrounding community, which is currently designated as a “food desert.”

Ray C. Anderson Foundation

Ray C. Anderson Foundation

The Ray C. Anderson Foundation was created in honor of the late Ray C. Anderson (1934-2011), founder of Interface, Inc. During his time at Interface, Ray championed the notion of businesses doing well by doing good. It’s these noble qualities of advancing knowledge and innovation around environmental stewardship and sustainability that recognized Ray as a pioneer in industrial ecology.

The purpose of the Foundation is to perpetuate these shared values and continue the legacy that Ray left behind. Through research and funding, the Foundation aims to help create a better world for future generations—tomorrow’s child. Join us as the story of the Foundation continues to unfold.
