Thursday, October 31 11:00 am - 12:00 pm https://lnkd.in/gRZr-wbe While California communities face the ongoing and growing threat of #wildfire and other climate-related disasters, the funding landscape for long-term planning, infrastructure improvements, and #capacitybuilding for resilience is unpredictable.

Kirin Kumar, Director for Climate and Disaster Resilience for Northern California Grantmakers, will highlight the ways philanthropy is stepping in to fill in gaps in state and federal funding for climate planning, resilience, and #adaptation.
