More Than A Drop in the Bucket: Funders and Global Water Issues
Join our discussion looking at how three foundations are responding to the emerging water crisis. We will present an interactive session highlighting work from various perspectives including corporate, small foundation and large foundation carrying out its own charitable activity. The panelists will respond to the question, “why focus on water” and discuss where they see opportunities for action. They will also examine in depth the role that a foundation can play in a global issue and provide examples of entry points for other foundations. Attendees will take away a better understanding of the issues, stories from the field, as well as practical information how they can be part of the solution from a strategic, programmatic and legal point of view.
