Registration is now open for the 2024 EGA Fall Retreat! Environmental grantmakers are invited to join us this September 22-25, in Stevenson, Washington (45 minutes outside of Portland). At the 2024 Fall Retreat, we will gather to assess and respond to threats on #climate, #democracy, and #RacialEquity. We will rise to the demands of this moment and formulate robust strategies with peers for lasting impact. As we gather in the Pacific Northwest, we will honor and understand the work of sovereign nations in the region and consider new ways that philanthropy can support Indigeneity here and across the globe. We will continue efforts to dismantle racist systems and explore philanthropy’s role in empowering community-led environmental efforts with care.

Promoting just philanthropy for people and planet
About us
The Environmental Grantmakers Association (EGA) is the big tent of environmental philanthropy. We are a community of grantmakers from over 200 foundations spanning North America and the globe. We convene for the purpose of practicing just philanthropy in support of people and planet. EGA’s north star is our Racial Equity POV (ega.org/re-pov), a collective commitment by EGA’s board, staff, and members, to advance racial equity in environmental philanthropy. We operationalize our POV by integrating the experiences, knowledge, and expertise of motivated communities in and across our programming, communications, and partnerships. We highlight just philanthropy practices and interventions that bridge gaps for motivated communities. Join us in shaping an equitable and sustainable future for all people and the planet!

Join HEFN, The Funders Network, and The Neighborhood Funders Group on July 25th for The Latest: Leveraging Federal Funds & Building Community Capacity in Rural!
Please join NFG’s Integrated Rural Strategies Group and its partners Health and Environmental Funders Network (HEFN) and The Funders Network for an upcoming webinar on Thursday, July 25 2-3:30pm ET. “The Latest: Leveraging Federal Funds & Building Community Capacity in Rural” is the second in a series of quarterly calls focused on accessing and leveraging federal funds to build capacity and advance justice for frontline communities. As funding opportunities roll out at a dizzying pace, many communities are already implementing projects with awarded funds. Despite how rural communities reflect some of the most important and opportune communities for investment, these communities – particularly low-income and/or BIPOC rural populations – are at a disadvantage in accessing federal funds. Due to decades of divestment and extraction from these communities, many are not “shovel ready,” oftentimes operating with extremely limited capacity and infrastructure to be able to successfully track, pursue, receive, and manage these resources. As funding opportunities continue to open up – and with the potential for November’s election to dramatically shift the availability of these funding streams – philanthropy must act.

Burnout remains a top concern for nonprofit leaders, and there are steps philanthropy can take to ensure the well-being of their grantees. EGA member, Jamie Allison, Executive Director of the Walter & Elise Haas Fund, shares reflections on the Center for Effective Philanthropy’s “State of Nonprofits” burnout report. The report found that Women of Color leaders of mid-sized nonprofits ($2M - $5M) have the most consistent burnout in the sector. Women of Color navigate deep biases and systemic obstacles, and have outsized responsibilities to best meet the needs of their communities, stakeholders, and team. Jamie outlines four steps that philanthropy can take to better support partners and organizations in their well-being. 💡 Invest directly in the well-being of BIPOC leaders. 💡 Create the conditions for better nonprofit job quality for the entire grantee organization 💡 Talk to your grantees about their compensation and benefits philosophy. 💡 When exiting, be transparent — and generous.
