In our sixteenth year of supporting grassroots environmental groups around the world, Global Greengrants Fund is proud to look back on 2009 as a year of landmark victories and worldwide recognition for the work of our grantees.
Last week, more than 50 of Greengrants’ advisors and colleagues met in Boulder, Colorado for our Global Advisor Retreat. Sophie Kutegeka, advisor on the East Africa Advisory Board, took some time to talk to us about why she believes in her work, and why we should be optimistic for the future.
Greengrants Global Advisor, Friends of the Earth International (FOEI), and grantee, World Rainforest Movement, released a report in March detailing the impacts of monoculture tree plantations on women. See press release below.
Carolina Campos of the Social Environmental Support Center–a partner in the Greengrants Alliance of Funds–tells us about youth activism in Brazil, her perspective on grantmaking, and some of the favorite projects she’s seen over the years.
In May of 2006, Greengrants awarded its $10,000,000th dollar in grants. That makes 2,754 grants made in 120 countries over 13 years.
