Freshwater Leadership Initiative

The Institute's Freshwater Leadership Initiative is an ongoing effort to provide organizational and leadership development support to groups in the Great Lakes region and in the Southeast United States. The goal of the Freshwater Leadership Initiative is to strengthen organizations whose work has an impact on restoring and protecting freshwater ecosystems. It is funded by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.

Activities in the Freshwater Leadership Initiative include:

A limited number of reduced-tuition slots to ICL's Signature Intensive Programs are available to organizations in the Great Lakes region and the Southeast U.S.

The Programs are:

Executive Director Leadership Program
Complete Fundraiser Program

Subsidized Custom-Designed Training and Consulting

Custom-design services for individual organizations that want assistance with a specific need. In the past, organizations have used this service for strategic planning, fundraising consulting, board retreats, and many other uses. Priority will be given to organizations that:

• Have an impact on freshwater ecosystems
• Are engaged in building a coalition or other collaborative work
• Are experiencing a leadership transition
• Want to grow a more active board
