#ListeningSession 8 - GCF’s President and CEO, Matthew Randazzo and Chief Impact Officer, Rasheda Malcolm-Cromwell hosted an open forum with organizations in the environmental sector that enrich our region through environmental beautification, stewardship, education and more. The discussion covered a wide range of topics and shared experiences. Key takeaways include a need for flexible grant funding and on staff development positions; a desire for more connections between potential donors and nonprofits; increase in public awareness of environmentally focused organizations and community impact stories; and access to innovation stories that provide a roadmap for cross sector work. How do you think our region can better serve nonprofits working to protect our green spaces and increase access to fresh food and nature? What does a greener, greater Cincinnati look like?

I sadly won't be able to make this on Wednesday, but if you can, be there!!! It's exhausting that #NewYorkers have to continuously #advocate for and defend the right to treat this planet better through individual and collection action. We've shown demand for these services, the necessity for this infrastructure, and that when presented with the option to lessen #methaneemissions and reduce #foodwaste, we take it. #SaveOurCompost #ClimateActionNow #MunicipalCompost #NYCcompost #growNYC GrowNYC #NYCbudgetCuts #BudgetCuts #Environment

Empowering Change at the Grassroots! Join #RedOnsGroen In a world grappling with crises, stimulating change at the grassroots level is our compass. The "Red Ons Groen" campaign is not just about saving the Lutkemeerpolder it is about building agency. Our focus extends beyond preservation; it's about empowering local communities to actively shape their future and to take charge of their environmental destiny. Grassroots actions create a ripple effect, inspiring collective action for broader positive change. Local empowerment is a global necessity. As we protect our green spaces, we contribute to a global movement for environmental justice Beyond Growth: Our mission transcends preserving green spaces—it challenges growth-centric models and the financialization of land. Showing how land as commons can be stewarded by communities free from speculation and profit motives. Join us in this journey to build agency, empower communities, free the land and create lasting positive change. www.redonsgroen.nl #RedOnsGroen #SaveOurGreen #GrassrootsEmpowerment #CommunityBuilding #VoedselparkAmsterdam #LocalImpact #EnvironmentalJustice #Regeneration #landascommons

By investing in community-led projects, we're not only accelerating the transition to clean energy but also fostering local ownership and resilience. These community-owned projects can be challenging to develop and so I am very glad that DOE is providing technical assistance and funding to support them. Supporting these initiatives is crucial as they not only drive environmental benefits but also promote economic development, social equity, and community empowerment. #CleanEnergy #CommunityEmpowerment #Energy #Sustainability

Happy Earth Day, everyone! 🌍 As we celebrate our planet and all its wonders, let's not forget about the importance of estate planning for the future of our loved ones and the environment. Consider including environmental nonprofits in your estate plan (which can also minimize income and/or estate taxes). You may also consider the recent phenomenon of “green death” by including sustainable options and innovations when it comes to funerals and burial plans.  By incorporating green initiatives into your estate plan, you can help ensure that your legacy lives on in a positive and impactful way. Let's work together to protect our planet for generations to come! #EarthDay #EstatePlanning #Sustainability

let's remember that every foot that touches the earth and every ear that hears the forest and every body that breathes with the lung of earth is also experiencing the heartbeat of Earth, and participating first hand in the regenerative principle of shared space, complementary coexistence, and the lovingkindness of flow. #human #beinghuman #leadership #lifeprinciples #sustainablelife #life #livingintelligence #regenerative
