Census & Redistricting Focus Group for Environmental Funders
A program of CBFN’s Civic Engagement Ad-Hoc Group, Census Equity Initiative, Fair Representation in Redistricting, and Fair Count
May 2, 2024 | 1PM - 2:15PM | RSVP Here
CBFN is partnering with the Census Equity Initiative, Fair Representation in Redistricting, and Fair Count to gather information on how and why the environmental funding community engages with core civic participation activities. CBFN is supporting these efforts by organizing a focus group of interested environmental funders in our region. Fair Count is developing draft materials for environmental funders and the discussion groups will provide an opportunity to learn about what type of information is most helpful on these critical issues for funders. The discussion will also create space for funders to discuss amongst themselves why they care about these issues. RSVP at the link above!
Virtual campfire chat - local government capacity building
A program of CBFN’s Capacity Building Initiative
May 3rd, 2024 | 2PM | RSVP Here
CBFN's Capacity Building Initiative (CBI) will expand this year to include a Local Government Capacity Building track. While this is the first time CBI will include this type of work, CBFN and its members have been engaged in local government capacity building for years. This call is an opportunity to learn how funders have approached this work in the past and share lessons learned as we prepare for this new funding track. RSVP at the link above!
CBI is CBFN's pooled fund, administered by the Chesapeake Bay Trust, to build the capacity of nonprofits across the region.
