Navigating the Current Political Landscape: A Cross-Sector Town Hall for Private Funders and Partners Across CEFG, FORA, HEFN, SAFSF
April 3, 2025 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am PDT
In today’s rapidly evolving political landscape and the administration’s intentional “flood the zone” strategy, private funders and partners face unprecedented challenges in distinguishing between noise and real threats. Navigating these complexities requires not only strategic foresight but also enhanced collaboration across food, agriculture, climate, energy, health, and environmental justice networks.
This Town Hall webinar brings together leaders from Climate and Energy Funders Group (CEFG), Funders for Regenerative Agriculture (FORA), Health and Environmental Funders Network (HEFN), and Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders (SAFSF) to provide a candid, solutions-oriented discussion designed to:
1) Demystify the Current Landscape: Separate noise from real threats and understand their implications on communities and funding priorities.
2) Strengthen Collaboration: Explore opportunities to better support one another, amplify key issues, and create more unified impact where we can.
3) Balance Defense and Long-Term Strategy: Develop a balanced approach that integrates defensive strategies with long-term planning and movement building.
4) Align and Amplify Impact: Identify existing efforts and future avenues to align funding efforts and maximize collective impact.
5) Resource Sharing and Coordination: Learn about shared resources, tools, and funds being organized to support ongoing collaboration.
This session is open to all members of funder networks or organizations. Please denote any funder networks your organization belongs to in your registration. Members of the Blue Sky Funders Forum, Chesapeake Bay Funders Network, Environmental Grantmakers Association, Neighborhood Funders Group, the Fund for Lake Michigan, and The Funders Network are most welcome.
