WNY Environmental Alliance

The Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo (CFGB) has established a new initiative -- enhancing and leveraging significant natural resources as a priority focus area for funding.  The strategic area has already begun with the organization of the Green and Growing and Environmental Coalitions that met starting in 2006 to establish an agenda for the regreening of Buffalo after the October Surprise storm and included an effective conference in the spring of 2007.

To more effectively identify, leverage and distribute resources, the CFGB seeks to strengthen the capacity of the region’s environmental community, to establish a shared agenda, and to identify priorities for community-wide funding.

The Urban Design Project, with consulting support from the Institute for Conservation Leadership, led a year-long planning effor to address these needs.
