Climate Funding 101: Strategic Grantmaking on Climate Change

Funder Learning Webinar

Tuesday, February 19th

1:00 pm – 2:00 pm Eastern Time

This is a web-based seminar (webinar) intended for environmental funders new to climate change and non-environmental funders wanting to learn more.  It will include a teleconference component as well as an online visual presentation.

As the significance of climate change continues to gain importance, philanthropists from diverse sectors are struggling to identify approaches relevant to their existing grantmaking objectives to address this critical issue. In order to overcome the climate challenges facing our world, funders must further strategies through a wide array of orientations, including the environment, health, human services, education, international development, human rights, community development and arts & culture. This funder only webinar will provide participants with an overview of various funding approaches on climate change, from environmental and non-environmental perspectives; as well as detailed accounts of different initiatives related to climate that are being pursued by funder Affinity Groups and non-profit-led campaigns. Presenters will include EGA staff along with seasoned grantmakers representing a variety of funding strategies and initiatives. 

Presenters:

• Dana Lanza - Environmental Grantmakers Association

• Paige Brown – Consultative Group on Biological Diversity / Climate and Energy Funders Group

• Denise Lee – The Nand & Jeet Khemka Foundation / Climate Change Philanthropy Action Network

• Jessica Bailey – Rockefeller Brothers Fund / 1Sky campaign
