Historical Initiatives & Projects

Partners for the Environment - A component fund of The Dayton Foundation since 2009, Partners for the Environment is an alliance of environmental organizations, government and civic organizations, and public and private educational institutions. These organizations share a common goal of protecting, restoring, preserving and promoting the environmental and agricultural resources of the Great Miami River and Little Miami River watersheds in an 18-county region of southwest Ohio. Each year, Partners for the Environment hosts an annual environmental leaders cohort to develop the next generation of environmental professionals through mentoring and leadership development.
