Hello and Seasons Greetings!
At the 2020 Fund we have made 2010 an important and exciting year: our focus is building the leadership, partnerships and capabilities to introduce Campaign 2020 in 2011.
“We are on the verge of a Great Turning. With 2020 as the portal, we can achieve the tipping point (to sustainability). I am convinced that our generation is fated to this great task.”
– Al Gore (from interview with 2020 Fund & Rockefeller Brothers Fund)
We write to you to highlight the work of our partner, First Peoples Worldwide. Indigenous people occupy 24% of Earth’s land with 80% of its biodiversity. They experience profound impacts from climate change on their food security. On World Food Day, we launched the 2020 Food Security Action Fund to support First Peoples’ Keepers of the Earth program that addresses food security issues.
As you begin your end of year giving plans, please consider a donation to support the 2020 Food Security Action Fund. Your donation is tax deductible and will make the difference in supporting the world’s Indigenous communities- the keepers of the earth, and the 2020 Fund’s vision.
Also, we would like to share some exciting news about the 2020 Fund’s accomplishments:
- Launched a new web site and logo
