Causewave Community Partners

Did you know? Some imported aluminum pots and pressure cookers may contain lead, especially if they’re old, damaged, or used for long cooking times. Lead exposure can affect children’s learning and development.

The Coalition to Prevent Lead Poisoning, housed under Causewave, is partnering with Monroe County, NY Legislature and Foodlink to host a FREE community event on lead awareness and safety.

📅 Saturday, June 27
⏰ 12:00–2:00 PM
📍 Foodlink Community Farm (585 Lexington Ave)

Enjoy:
✅ Free food from Macarollin and Foodlink's Curbside Market
✅ Live cooking demonstrations
✅ Free stainless steel, lead-free cooking pots (while supplies last)
✅ Recycling of old cooking pots

Bring your family, enjoy great food, and learn about resources that support healthier homes. And please help us spread the word!

We can't wait to see you there! 💚

Nonprofits are built on resilience, the kind that keeps going when things shift, stretch, or surprise you.

That resilience shows up in different ways.

1.The ability to anticipate change
2.Strong strategic partnerships
3.Innovative ways to maximize resources

Sometimes those strengths are already there. Sometimes they’re still taking shape.

Causewave has grant funding available to help offset the cost of capacity-building work that prepares organizations for what's next.

Excellent job to the Climate Solutions Accelerator for organizing another dynamic and engaging summit! The event brought together diverse stakeholders and community members from across sectors to explore how we can collectively address carbon emissions (AMPED: Go All Electric & Greater Rochester Clean Cities), the realities of climate change impacts, and affordability concerns for both our communities and workforce. We are grateful to have participated this year as a presenter in collaboration with Council of Agency Executives, sponsor, and had a table at the event.

A key takeaway for our team came from Dr. Nate Hagen’s keynote, highlighting that we may be nearing the peak of the carbon pulse and emphasizing the need to shift from a growth-oriented mindset to one focused on resource protection if civilization is to thrive on our planet.

The summit served as a powerful reminder of how interconnected the work of different sectors is and the tremendous potential to make a real impact when efforts are strategic and well-coordinated.
