Resourcing Resilience Report: a Briefing on Aligning Public and Philanthropic Funding for California Communities
Join Philanthropy California and Nonprofit Finance Fund for the launch of our Resourcing Resilience Report. As Californians grapple with the escalating impacts of climate change, it is clear that the path towards resilience lies in supporting the communities on the frontline. The Resourcing Resilience Report arrives at a pivotal moment as climate change continues to disproportionately affect vulnerable communities and communities of color—those who often bear the brunt of extreme weather events, extractive industry, and environmental degradation.
The Resourcing Resilience Report provides a landscape analysis of public and philanthropic investments in climate resilience, and serves as a call to action for both sectors to unlock pathways to more equitable, accessible funding. By building cross-sector partnerships and addressing systemic barriers, we can enable a more effective flow of resources directly into the hands of communities on the frontline of the climate crisis.
Funder members of Northern California Grantmakers, SoCal Grantmakers, and Catalyst of San Diego & Imperial Counties are encouraged to attend. This webinar is also open to non-member funders and public funders who are working on issues related to community resilience.
This webinar will include:
- An overview of the Resourcing Resilience Report and its recommendations for public and philanthropic funders to realize a collective vision for resilience
- Q&A with report authors and partners
- A discussion about important next steps for funders in California
We invite you to join us for this event, which offers a unique opportunity to explore how public and philanthropic dollars can better reach the communities that need them most.
