About Us

Improving the ecological health of the Nation’s largest estuary presents huge challenges, and will require focused efforts from every level of government, from local watershed groups and regional environmental organizations, from individuals, and from us… the organizations and decision-makers who comprise the Chesapeake Bay Funders Network.

The Funders Network creates opportunities for funding organizations like yours to make a real difference by providing current and objective information on policy issues, by helping organizations focus on the most pressing Bay and watershed problems, and by providing networking opportunities with other funders which lead to leveraged, effective outcomes aimed at protecting and restoring the health of Chesapeake Bay and its watershed.  If you'd like to find out information on recent meetings, Click Here.

Crafted by grantmakers for grantmakers, the Chesapeake Bay Funders Network is a goal-oriented organization that fosters opportunities to work together on shared interests in Bay and watershed restoration issues and activities.  All CBFN programs are committed to improving the capacity within communities to initiate and sustain change necessary to promote and protect the health of the Chesapeake Bay.  For more information on CBFN's recent collaborations, Click Here.
