Northwest Environmental Grantmakers Information
Northwest Environmental Grantmakers is an informal regional coalition that meets quarterly to discuss issues and programs, creating opportunities for networking and collaboration.
Member organizations rotate hosting and facilitation. The agenda is set with assistance from the membership attending the prior meeting. The host organization invites speakers and/or organizes panels around the chosen topic.
Meetings are announced via our listserv. A roster with contact information is maintained and posted quarterly - it is confidential and not to be shared outside of the group. Northwest Environmental Grantmakers listserv also functions as a communications tool, where members can post a question, job openings, and lists of grants awarded. To join the listserv send an email (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). To post a message, send an email to (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
There is no membership fee. Fundraising is not allowed, although collaboration among grantmakers is encouraged.
