Join funder colleagues in Cleveland this September for a fall convening of TFN’s GREEN and Inclusive Economies working groups in partnership with funders from our Philanthropic Preparedness and Emergency Response Partnership (PPREP).
The convening will bring together funders working at the intersection of climate and environmental justice, community resilience and economic opportunity to exchange ideas, strengthen collaboration and move our work forward during these challenging times. We’ll explore how philanthropy can work together to drive climate adaptation, economic development and community-led solutions.
What to Expect:
- Explore Cleveland’s rich history and neighborhoods on exciting site visits
- Learn and share in strategy sessions with fellow funders and partners
- Time to gather, connect, strategize and collaborate
About GREEN
TFN’s GREEN working group — which stands for Green, Renewable, Efficient, Equitable, Now — brings together funders committed to supporting community-led climate solutions and addressing environmental and climate injustice.
GREEN provides shared learning, alignment and action spaces for funders to more effectively support communities and regions that are sustainable, prosperous, healthy and just for all people.
About Inclusive Economies
TFN’s Inclusive Economies working group brings place-based funders and related partners from across the sector together to build working relationships, advancing understanding of practices and policies that lead to inclusive prosperity and taking joint action that drives the field forward.
We apply a three-part focus — race, place and prosperity — to economic growth and development. A particular goal is connecting people and neighborhoods of color to employment and wealth-building opportunities through investment, systems change and policy reform.
About PPREP
PPREP, which stands for Philanthropic Preparedness, Resiliency and Emergency Partnership, was created to provide resources for community foundations to build their skills and leadership capacity in order to be better informed and prepared should a natural disaster strike their community.
PPREP is about strengthening the relationships between community members and organizations to maximize their impact in preparing for and recovering from disasters. Given the disproportionate health, economic and social impacts of disasters on low-income communities and other vulnerable populations, PPREP works to embed an equity lens into the cohort’s learning about preparedness, response and recovery practices and policies.
