Meaningful environmental change starts with meaningful community engagement. This toolkit shares eight practical, adaptable tools developed through the River Connections Initiative (RCI). The initiative brought together the Walton Family Foundation, Quad Cities Community Foundation, IMAN Consulting, and Sankofa Consulting to strengthen inclusive community engagement and grantmaking for the Mississippi River. The tools are designed for funders, nonprofits, government agencies, and community partnerships. They can help you build stronger relationships, center community voices, and create more equitable and effective environmental programs. Explore, adapt, and use these tools to strengthen collaboration and create lasting impact in your community.
