Join the Minnesota Climate Donor Table for their summer meeting. This meeting will feature a briefing and discussion with key leaders working on state implementation of federal climate funding, a discussion of reauthorization of funding for the Environment & Natural Resources Trust Fund, and a final presentation on the Minnesota philanthropic landscape as it relates to climate funding and the state’s climate action plan. Based on what is presented in these first three components of the meeting, the final portion will focus on discerning a limited number of joint action priorities for the table to work on as it strives to move toward collective action and impact.
