Time to revisit sustainability!
With virtually no issue escaping the effects of production and consumption, come and learn the newest thinking and efforts to honestly define how we can live in a more sustainable world. Guaranteed to not only expand your understanding, this meeting will offer the chance to engage with outside-the-box thinkers and leaders who spend their lives figuring it all out. As funders, we will discuss ways to work across networks, knock down the funding silos and learn where the most strategic and impactful funding investments are (or should be). The conclusion of the gathering will leave you with tangible opportunities in hand for post-conference engagement and collaboration.
We warmly welcome the funding community to join us for the Sustainability Funders Conference on May 16 & 17, 2011 at the Airlie Center in Warrenton, Virginia, the venue where the Sustainability Funders was born more than ten years ago.
