Peer to Peer – An Equitable and Just Transition: The Vital Role of Philanthropy in Supporting Communities and Households in the Climate Economy

The Inflation Reduction Act is accelerating federal funding and investment into the climate economy and providing critical incentives to support the transition. How do funders make the case to major donors, boards and leadership to transition and/or expand their funding portfolios to address pressing and urgent climate-related issues? What are different pathways to fund climate work within our core asset-building areas: health, housing, small business development, financial health, community development, and education? And what is the role of philanthropy in driving an equitable and just transition in support of community and household priorities?

Please join Asset Funders Network (AFN) on September 14, 2023 at 1:00 pm ET for a 75-minute member-only, peer-led discussion on the climate economy. Together we will discuss:

  • How are your asset building funding areas being impacted by climate change?
  • What challenges are you dealing with in supporting climate funding strategies and what do you need to address those challenges?
  • What is the role of philanthropy in driving an equitable and just transition in the climate economy?
