The landscape of federal climate funding has undergone a dramatic shift, from an unprecedented influx of resources to funding freezes and anticipated cuts. This session, drawing from Resourcing Resilience, a report by Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF) and Philanthropy California, will elevate key barriers that California-based community and Tribal practitioners face in accessing public climate funding and implementing and sustaining climate projects. Through insights gathered from interviews with two dozen practitioners, we will present recommendations on responsive actions and strategies for public and private funders. Key themes include investing now, at a time of uncertainty and fear, to strengthen community-led capacity for equitable disaster recovery and climate resilience. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges that California based community organizations and Tribes are facing, as well as strategies to help them navigate this moment. The session will equip attendees with strategies to sustain critical climate investments across California, particularly in historically disinvested communities most vulnerable to climate change, fostering action beyond the session.
