Webinar: The Role of Philanthropy in Disaster Relief Legislation
Environmental Grantmakes Association will host a webinar on Wednesday, August 28 entitled “The Role of Philanthropy in Disaster Relief Legislation.” The presentation will have a specific focus on the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States Act (RESTORE Act), which dedicates 80 percent of all Clean Water Act penalties paid by those responsible for the 2010 Deep Water Horizon oil disaster to “Gulf Coast restoration.”
The webinar will also reference a recent white paper commissioned by the Greater New Orleans Foundation, which points out that there are many needs fundamental to achieving a restored Gulf that will go unmet by the federal recovery plan. Co-sponsor is the Greater New Orleans Foundation.
