About Momentum Conservation
Momentum Conservation is a non-profit organization founded in 2012 committed to emergence and innovation with the mission to work collectively in Maine to create mutually beneficial relationships with the earth, communities, and people through the conservation movement. We advance a justice-centered approach to the conservation movement by connecting and empowering Maine’s conservation organizations through education, convening, and grantmaking. Momentum works with many other conservation organizations in Maine to amplify, support, and build capacity in their work. Beginning in 2023, we are providing grants to land trusts in the state, thanks to funding from the Onion Foundation.
Commitment to Equity and Inclusion
Momentum is committed to building more inclusive and equitable conservation and environmental movements in Maine. We are actively leaning into the intersection of the environment, conservation, and social equity, and we are committed to weaving this intersection through all of our work. We are continuously learning about our blind spots and unconscious biases. We know that biases and disparities disproportionately burden communities of color, indigenous communities, people with physical and mental disabilities, and low-income communities with legacies of environmental damage and ongoing harm. It is our duty to ensure that our work does not propagate destructive, damaging practices, and instead is addressing barriers and fixing inequitable systems.
Equity and justice are woven through all of the work that we do. We are committed to the hard work of not just learning, but acting to reduce barriers and build new pathways for just conservation and change. For that reason, we will prefer candidates with a demonstrated enthusiasm for and commitment to an equitable, inclusive, and just conservation and environmental movement, and experience with equitable systems and/or transformations.
