Food Justice & Food Systems Funding in NY

(WEBINAR)

On this webinar, we will be discussing the wide range of food and farming issues that make up “food systems” work in New York. The food system incorporates everything involved in producing, distributing, purchasing, and consuming food, as well as what is done with waste product. The call is important for all grantmakers, as food systems affect everything from the environment, to workers’ rights, to public health and nutrition. We will hear from funders working on different aspects of the food system, and from a group of funders who have created a network to share learning and coordination across the region, including how private philanthropy can leverage local, state, and federal funding.

Featured speakers include:

• Joe Roccisano, Director, Financial Stability and Thrive Buffalo, United Way of Buffalo & Erie County
• Bronwyn Starr, Program Officer, NYS Health Foundation
• Adam Liebowitz, Director, Community Food Funders Director, North Star Fund

Cost to Attend:

• Member of the NY Funders Alliance - Free
• Non-Member - $25.00
