Are you with a community foundation interested in Planning for Disaster Philanthropy?
Contact Amy Swiatek (aswiatek@philanthropycolorado.org) for information on Philanthropy Colorado’s June 23, 2022 convening. It brings together foundations on the front lines of disaster response in their communities with a focus on wildfire and flood response, recovery and mitigation. We will lift up lessons learned on approaches and practices; and discuss local, regional and statewide disaster response issues and opportunities to work together.
