Climate Action in a Polarized U.S.

Partisan gridlock has hampered U.S. climate progress, but funders have the power to change that. This session explores how philanthropy can unlock durable, bipartisan action by embracing ideological diversity and supporting authentic voices across the political spectrum. Attendees will leave with the confidence and concrete strategies to fund across political divides without compromising values.
