The Maine Climate & Environmental Funders Network (MCEFN) operates at the confluence of environmental concerns toward the goals of shared learning, building connections, and engaging in collective action.
Created in 2023, this network is the result of a merger between the Climate Change Funders Forum and the Environmental Funders Network. The Maine Climate & Environmental Funders Network (MCEFN) operates at the confluence of environmental concerns toward the goals of shared learning, building connections, and engaging in collective action. MCEFN’s programmatic work is guided by three priorities: civic engagement and democracy; equity, justice and power; and communications and narrative change. Under these priorities, together we are exploring the green/blue economy, land conservation, climate justice, and other issues impacting Maine communities. This group also explores urgent and emergent issues as it relates to climate and the environment.
Through strategic convenings, exploration of intersectional topics, and coordination of relevant and important information, the network creates value as “more than the sum of our parts.” We are actively seeking funders to participate in program development and to join the Advisory Committee.
