Minnesota Climate Donor Table In-Person Meeting

Please join us for the Spring 2025 in-person Climate Donor Table Meeting. We’ll have a chance to take stock of federal actions, assess the impact on climate work in Minnesota, and discuss the table’s future strategies.

We’ll hear from a number of speakers, including Kate Knuth, Climate Director with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, who will discuss the impact on state agencies; Stacey Grant and Diana McKeown, with the Minnesota TA Collaborative, who will share the perspective of nonprofit organizations; and foundation members, who have been impacted by federal funding freezes.

Please reach out to Dave Anderson with questions, [email protected].

Please update your online MCF profile with any dietary restrictions or notify Khin Oo, [email protected]. We will attempt to accommodate all requests made at least one week prior to the event.
