AEGN members have declared the following statement about the Role of Philanthropy in the Environment…
- Philanthropy must play a leadership role in the environment
- The philanthropic sector can do this by setting an agenda that promotes long term visions and solutions and by demonstrating ethical and sustainable principles in all that it does
- Philanthropy’s practice is about being nimble, flexible and innovative, generating ideas and models, taking risks where business and government will not, involving decision-makers and working with and empowering the community and its leaders
- Philanthropy should build accountability, evaluation and monitoring into all of its work, share its learnings and communicate its work with the broader community
