Stated in press release here on Thursday that through these “communities of practice,” grantees meet to discuss their experiences and access expert technical advice about how to ensure the success and long-term sustainability of their work with local communities.
The groups are issue-based and are organized around the Fund’s five priority areas – culture and the arts, disaster preparedness, energy solutions, social entrepreneurship, and vulnerable populations.
