The meeting will deepen funder learning and provide opportunities to discuss timely issues impacting the Great Lakes, particularly the challenges of supporting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) led organizations and youth activists, climate issues in the Great Lakes, and the importance of social and racial justice in our collective work.  We hope this meeting will provide some timely insights while providing space for funders to connect and discuss issues in their work.
