Nonprofit leaders across the country are strategizing, organizing and mobilizing for better transit service, safer walking and biking, and fewer highway expansions. Their work supports marginalized communities and builds more equitable and sustainable systems.
Are you supporting any of these stellar grantees through your grantmaking? If so, let us know!
TFN’s Mobility and Access Collaborative is launching an Advocacy Spotlight series that will lift up nonprofit grantees making an impact in their communities and beyond.
If you’d like to nominate a grantee for this series, fill out this short online form by Feb. 28.
We’ll feature the grantee on TFN’s social media platforms and other communications platforms as part of our commitment to amplifying community-led sustainability solutions and building the field of philanthropy through shared learning.
“Local and grassroots advocates are hard at work fighting for more abundant public transportation systems that form the bedrock of safe, healthy, and vibrant communities,” said Chris Van Eyken, director of research and policy for TransitCenter and a member of the Mobility and Access Collaborative’s Design Committee.
“This series will highlight how their dedicated efforts have led to transportation investments that connect communities to economic opportunities and essential services, improve public health outcomes, and reduce the environmental impacts of transportation.”
We’ll share the Advocacy Spotlights starting in the spring. If your nominated grantee is selected for this series, we’ll reach out to you and the grantee group to confirm additional details.
