The staff and Board of the Environmental Grantmakers Association (EGA) are delighted to present our strategic framework. This blueprint builds on EGA’s impressive history which began more than 25 years ago with a handful of environmental funders seeking greater collaboration and synergy, and today has expanded into the big tent under which hundreds of environmental foundations connect. As the world changes, we are mobilizing our efforts to address the stark challenges and fresh opportunities before us.
The Board revised and refreshed the original plan in 2014 as we reached the halfway point toward our ten year outcomes. The previous framework encompassed over 18 months of research and discussion with EGA members. While members’ opinions and priorities vary widely, there are common themes. Please note the new outcome goal of catalyzing action which sprung from a robust conversation on the venue and/or voice role for EGA. The urgency of now is evident in the number of environmental stresses around the globe, and EGA continues to evolve to support our members in forging a path to a sustainable future.
