Steering Committee
The Great Lakes Funders are guided by an active and engaged Steering Committee. We envision a future where the Great Lakes region thrives as a result of effective and coordinated philanthropic efforts, ensuring pristine waters, robust ecosystems, and thriving, equitable communities for generations to come.
Steering Committee members represent the diversity of foundations involved in the GLF network and bring a breadth of experience, expertise, and perspective to our work.
