AFN Greater Philadelphia Region: Climate Resilience & Economic Security
Without dedicated investments and related systemic changes to ensure inclusivity and affordability, climate-related financial strains on households with low wealth and income will deplete savings, increase debt, strip assets, reduce disposable income, and deny long-term prospects for economic security and wealth building.
Philanthropy can ensure that climate-responsive solutions are inclusive and affordable through grants, investments, and other actions that prioritize those most impacted by disinvestment and the systemic inequities driving current wealth and climate disparities.
Join us on April 16th at the Philadelphia Foundation office, to explore ways philanthropy can shape inclusive solutions at the intersection of climate and economic security. We will hear from AFN staff and local experts to discuss the local context and share a range of intersectional opportunities for philanthropic action across AFN’s issue areas. We invite you to download the newest AFN resources including the climate framing table and issue area brief to help inform our discussion.
Speakers will be announced soon.
This meeting is open to philanthropic foundations, financial institutions, community
development financial institutions (CDFIs), credit unions, United Ways, public sector funders, and invited community partners. Specific focus on the Greater Philadelphia region.
