The Environmental Grantmakers Association (EGA) is a nonprofit network that brings together grantmakers from more than 200 foundations across North America and beyond to support just and equitable environmental philanthropy. Based in New York City, the organization serves as a forum for foundations to share practices, knowledge, and partnerships aimed at advancing people- and planet-centered environmental work. Its work centers on promoting racial equity within environmental philanthropy, articulating a dedicated perspective on this priority, and integrating diverse experiences into programming and communications. EGA also emphasizes highlighting equitable grantmaking approaches and fostering collaboration among motivated communities to bridge gaps in environmental outcomes.

Recent activity reflects ongoing programmatic and fellowship initiatives, including the establishment of an Executive Grantmaker Fellowship to support leaders in foundations, and the formation of a program committee for its Fall Retreat. The organization participates in broader policy and convening efforts through scheduled events and partnerships, illustrating its role within the philanthropy sector focused on environmental and racial equity issues. EGA’s activities demonstrate a posture of collective learning and practical action among a diverse network of grantmakers seeking a more equitable and sustainable future.
