Global
Warming and Climate Change
Sponsored by Pew Charitable Trusts
Advancing Policy Solutions
The
partners of the Trusts' Environment program tend to fall
into three categories: public interest organizations
focused on natural resource conservation and public health,
research universities, and businesses
with a specific societal interest that overlaps with an
area of the Trusts' work.
Letters of inquiry are accepted throughout the year
and reviewed on a rolling basis. If a proposal
is considered appropriate for board review, it will be slated
for the next available opening on a board agenda. The board
meets quarterly, usually in March, June, September, and
December.
