the Network
The Great Lakes Network (GLN) promotes collaboration between local and regional organizations to advance water policy in the Great Lakes region. The GLN extends resources, support, and communication across jurisdictional borders to identify opportunities and tackle threats together. Our community is home to an array of diverse perspectives and backgrounds that—when brought together—foster creative problem solving and innovation.

Support
Freshwater Future is a GLN member organization that administers a seed fund to support self-organizing across organizations interested in learning or working together. Members may receive up to $2,500 per project.
​
Funding is allocated at the "sub-network" level, which are smaller, issue-oriented groups within the GLN. These sub-networks are headed by Lead Coordinators that facilitate communication and innovation.
