By now, you probably know that climate change is real and threatens our habitat as humans.

But you may not know that there are two sisters right here in RVA who decided to tackle this global issue by taking local action. Join us to hear how Christie Thalhimer Silverstein and Elizabeth Thalhimer Smartt partnered with the Community Foundation and other passionate donors to establish the Conserve the Future Fund.

The Conserve the Future Fund, whose grants are determined by a committee of local donors, supports projects in the Richmond region that benefit the environment, conserve natural resources, and enhance regional sustainability. For the past five years, the committee has granted approximately $100,000 per year to nonprofit projects ranging from incentivizing solar energy in public schools to growing community gardens to providing workforce training in renewable energy.

Inspired?

The Community Foundation will kick off the night with some general tips and strategies on philanthropic giving, followed by the sisters who will engage you on how you can be a part of this exciting movement!
