Leadership for Ecosystem Restoration |
| Origination: |
Special Initiative |
The Council of Michigan Foundations will work to expand membership in the Great Lakes Community Foundation Environmental Collaborative (the Collaborative) and create a new learning network to educate community leaders about the role that local foundations can play in improving the health of the Great Lakes ecosystem. Participating community foundations will undertake locally developed projects to protect local watersheds, improve shoreline water quality, and preserve open space. This (final) phase of the project will expand the collaborative, leverage an additional $3 million dollars in private funding to be used on environmental projects (a 12:1 match) and provide the community foundations with a set of innovative tools and a network to share best practices for making environmentally related grants. This project builds upon the considerable momentum generated in the two previous phases of the project, which created environmental grant-making programs in 21 of the basin's shoreline community foundations. |
