Tap into the collective wisdom of the GREEN working group and other funders as we explore climate and environmental justice, community resiliency and supporting a vibrant green economy and workforce for all.

On Day One, we’ll dive into the resilient, community-driven efforts underway in Georgia and the Coastal Region. Our morning panel discussion will feature place-based leaders like Rachael Thompson, Executive Director of the Glynn Environmental Coalition, and panel moderator Patrick King II, Georgia State Director of the Natural Resources Defense Council.

We’ll then take our learning outside the conference room and travel to the Pin Point Community, a historic Gullah-Geechee community located 25 minutes from downtown Savannah. We’ll meet with community members and partners supporting resilience planning and cultural preservation in this unincorporated community in Chatham County.

On Day Two, we’ll provide the space to learn and strategize with your funder peers. Our Funder Fishbowl — Despite Tough Times, Communities are Rising Above and Beyond — will allow funders to share how they are adjusting strategies and approaches to their work in the face of an increasingly hostile federal landscape for climate and environmental justice.

We’ll also hear from Meg Coker, Editor in Chief of The Current — a nonprofit news organization that focuses on environment, health, public safety, education and government throughout coastal Georgia.

OHM Justice Strategist and SICARS (Sapelo Island Cultural And Revitalization Society) Board Member Jazz Watts will be introducing the day on Tuesday, orienting conference attendees to the Savannah area and coastal region.

Registration is $300 (TFN Members) / $500 (TFN Non-Members).
