It’s not just about the weather — the growing climate emergency presents a serious risk to the pursuit of all philanthropic aims. All aspects of society will be affected and we can use our philanthropy to make a difference. We have less than 10 years to act, and all funders -- whatever their mission and field of expertise — can have an immense potential for positive impact. It’s time to plan our role as individual philanthropists and collectively - We owe it to future generations.
Join JFN’s Green Funders Forum for “Global Warning: Climate Change and Jewish Philanthropy,” a five-part series. This is particularly timely in light of November’s UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow.
Participants will be eligible for a free consultation meeting to explore personal philanthropic strategies around this issue.
Participants are encouraged -- although not required -- to attend the entire five-part series.

Tuesday, November 16, (19:00-20:30 IL, 12-1:30 p.m. ET, 9-10:30 a.m. PT)
Join us to learn together (and in breakout groups) how climate change intersects with most funding areas -- such as advancing marginalized populations, shared society, poverty, refugees, employment, education, women’s rights, national security, and more.
