All work of community foundations is increasingly being affected directly and indirectly by climate change.
Thanks to Nick Perks, Founder of the Funder Commitment on Climate Change, for joining us last week to talk about #ClimateAction in the UK and the involvement of community foundations.
#LocalAction with support from #PlaceBased #Philanthropy is crucial to tackling climate change.
