The Million Mile Challenge: Help Fund Home Upgrades

Calculate Your Footprint

Will you help us reach 1,000,000 miles of carbon offsets this year?

Offsetting emissions from flights, road trips, and daily commuting feels good, and does good too!

You can turn everyday travel into powerful climate action. Every contribution to the RENEW Climate Fund goes towards making local homes:

  • Safer

  • More comfortable

  • More affordable to heat and cool

Since launching in 2015, RENEW has helped upgrade nearly 1,000 homes while reducing +12,000 tons of carbon emissions. A typical RENEW grant is only $5,000, but has life-changing effects like improved mental health and ability to age in place.

Now, the 1,000,000-Mile Challenge will celebrate 10 years of impact by inviting residents across the greater Rochester region to help make homes healthier and air clear with every mile.
