Register now for the BFG Annual Member Meeting taking place June 10 through June 13, 2024 at the Samoset Resort in Rockport, Maine.

Why should you attend our yearly gathering?

• Our gatherings have been instrumental networking opportunities for environmental, conservation, and climate and energy funders
• A place where grantmakers find friends, mentors, and collaborators.
• Our planning committee spends months outlining an intentional agenda of engaging speakers, workshops, and field trips.
• Topics of conversation include: Offshore wind, endangered species protection, transboundary fish passage, Tribal sovereignty and Land Back, private forests, working waterfronts, PFAS contamination, and much more–coastal Maine is a perfect backdrop to examine many complex and intertwined biodiversity issues.

Whether you’re a birder, hiker, or working waterfront enthusiast, you’ll have a hard time choosing among the array of land and sea based options. In addition to the traditional Wednesday field trips, we’re offering two optional field trips (more info available on the registration site).
