Finger Lakes Climate Fund
Finger Lakes Climate Fund
In 2021, Colgate made its first local offset purchases through the Finger Lakes Climate Fund (FLCF). These investments directly support low-to-moderate income families in Hamilton, NY, by providing essential gap funding for the installation of energy-efficient heat pumps and other conservation measures in their homes. This financial support not only make these projects possible—reducing home energy costs and improving comfort—but also allow Colgate to contribute to a meaningful local initiative. At the same time, the university benefits by claiming the associated carbon reductions to help offset its institutional greenhouse gas emissions.
