Minnesota Climate Donor Table In-Person Meeting

Please join us for the first in-person Climate Donor Table Meeting of the year. We’ll have a chance to take stock of the post-election landscape, discuss the table’s future strategies, share some updates, and get input on the table’s joint climate actions. We’ll hear from a number of speakers, including Brian McDaniel, from Momentum Advocacy, who will provide some post-election analysis, and Susan Hammel, MCF Exec in Residence, who will dig into next steps related to a joint climate impact investing strategy.

Minnesota Climate Donor Table events are open to any MCF member who is interested in funding within the climate focus area. Prior participation in the Climate Donor Table is not required.

Additional details including the exact location and parking instructions will be provided ahead of the event. Please reach out the Dave Anderson with questions, danderson@mcf.org.
