Building Equity and Alignment for Impact (BEA)

Our Goals

1. To break down historic barriers between big green, grassroots and funding sectors, building authentic relationships toward greater alignment and solidarity;
2. To support the prevailing culture within philanthropy toward a base-building, bottom-up, collaborative approach and away from a top-down, funder-driven approach;
3. To expand the pool of resources available to the environment and overlapping progressive issues and shift those resources to more equitably service the grassroots organizing sector
