Tonight we had our 2020 Grant Kickoff meeting! We took a deep dive into our new member-selected theme, "Local actions for a healthy planet." We got invested, inspired, and shared about nonprofits/potential grantees who are making local environmental impacts. I love being at a table of such kind people focused on giving together! If you couldn't make it, we had an icebreaker and took this Climate Change Quiz shared by Bill Gates. See if you can beat his score--ONE of our members matched it! How'd you do?

I asked my team to put together this short quiz, and then I took it. Now it’s your turn.

Local action to create a healthy planet!

Another Act of Giving grant recipient will be celebrated this Thursday evening! Densho, the Japanese American Legacy Project, is a grassroots organization dedicated to preserving, educating, and sharing the story of World War II-era incarceration of Japanese Americans in order to deepen understandings of American history and inspire action for equity. We are so pleased that Act of Giving member Janet Salm proposed this great organization. Thanks to Janet and all our members, they received a $12,500 Act of Giving grant to help with their important mission.
