**10:10, the charity that creates participatory projects that bring people together
to tackle climate change, is looking for organisations that would like to receive
free solar panels.** It is about to embark on a crowdfunding campaign to buy as 
many solar panels as possible to benefit organisations that work on the issues of

 * Racial justice
 * Migrant rights/human rights
 * Coding
 * Animal welfare
 * Gender rights

 In particular they are looking for eligible organisations in Northern Ireland, 
Scotland, and Wales.  In addition to working on the specific issues, organisations
must be able to accommodate solar panels and help 10:10 to increase the visibility
of the project. There is no need to contribute financially to the crowdfunding campaign.

 The crowdfunding campaign and its focus is a tribute to singer-songwriter, actor
and musician Prince, who died last year. After his death it emerged that he was 
a clean energy advocate and philanthropist. For example, he had secretly funded 
solar panels for many of the residents of Oakland, California. 10:10’s crowdfunding
campaign will run from **21 April 2017**, the anniversary of Prince’s death, to **
7 June**, his birthday.

> transition to clean energy worldwide.” 10:10

 10:10 are hoping that Prince fans around the world will support the campaign to
mark the anniversary of his death. The charity’s past solar power campaigns have
included:

 * [Solar Schools](https://1010uk.org/solar-schools)  – working with 90 schools 
   to install nearly 2,500 solar panels, reaching and working with over 30,00 students.
 * [Back Balcombe](https://1010uk.org/back-balcombe) – working with the villagers
   of Balcombe, the site of the first exploratory fracking well in the UK, to repower
   their village with 100% clean energy.
