Kresge Foundation awards grant to Consortium to combat climate change, improve community health
The Consortium is honored to be one of 32 organizations nationwide receiving grant funding as part of the Kresge Foundation’s Climate Change, Health, and Equity initiative.
"At a time when many foundations are reducing their support for this work, we are profoundly grateful to The Kresge Foundation for its ongoing leadership," said Dr. Lisa Patel, executive director of the Consortium. "Protecting our communities from fossil fuel pollution and worsening extreme weather disasters depends on more funders joining this commitment."
