Going Beyond the Check: Philanthropic Partnerships to Advance Equity Outdoors
June 10 , 10:00 am – 11:15 am PDT
Through a unique partnership, the National Recreation Foundation (NRF) and Tom’s of Maine (TOM) have committed to $3 million over three years to help NRF support cohorts of grantees that work to make outdoor recreation opportunities safe, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone. Since the program started in 2021, more than 60 organizations (majority BIPOC-led and serving) have benefited from not only funding but professional development workshops, evaluation support from top researchers in the field at NC State University, and networking and support structures within their cohort.
Join the Blue Sky Funders Forum for a coffee chat on June 10, 2024 from 1:00 – 2:15 pm ET (10:00 – 11:15 am PT) to explore what it means to go beyond the check and ways funders can partner to increase their support to nonprofits.
This session will be recorded. Questions? Please reach out to Berkeley (berkeley@blueskyfundersforum.org).
