Program areas at EGA
The Environmental Grantmakers Association was formed in 1987 following a meeting of environmental funders in Washington, DC to discuss common interests and to learn about each others programs. As a result of the enthusiasm generated at the meeting, 12 member foundations from across the United States made plans for future gatherings, exchanged grants lists, and published a directory of foundation program interests. Subsequent meetings reaffirmed the groups interest in facilitating increased communication among grantmakers through EGA. Over 30 years later, our membership spans more than 230 foundations, donor and giving programs, spanning large and small in terms of giving level and staff size, and includes multiple types of foundations that are concerned with protecting the environment. In 2022, EGA succesfully held its first in person convening coninuing the tradition of signature events despite the compound crisis of the covid 19 epidemic. EGA host nearly 300 members, and partners featuring the largest BIPOC gathering to date.EGA ratifie its racial equity point of view.
