In 1989, the Governors of the Great Lakes states created the Protection Fund to help them protect and restore their shared natural resources. The Fund is the first private endowment created to benefit a specific ecosystem. It supports the creative work of collaborative teams that test new ideas, take risks and share what they learn. Since its formation, the Fund has made 229 grants and program investments, representing a $57.6 million commitment.

Please join us for a lunchtime webinar series sponsored by the Great Lakes Protection Fund. Since 1989, the Great Lakes Protection Fund has been funding projects to improve the health of the Great Lakes. Over the next four months, in a three-part series, we will be highlighting several of our current projects that are developing innovative solutions to address some of the Great Lakes' most challenging problems.

Webinar 1
