Dear Reader,
It is with great excitement that I share this news: The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration announced today a $1.5 million gift to NCR's endowment earmarked to support and amplify "integral ecological education and journalism reflecting the spirit of Laudato Si'." The gift marks the establishment of the Laudato Si' Fund, which NCR will seek to grow with gifts from other donors.
This is one of the largest donations in NCR's history, and we are grateful. The Franciscan Sisters were among the first supporters of EarthBeat, NCR's project that reports how Catholics and other faith groups take action in the face of the climate crisis. According to the sisters, the fund is intended to "wake up the world to the moral urgency surrounding climate change and care for our common home." If you do not yet receive the EarthBeat Weekly newsletter, you can sign up here. You'll receive an email each Friday with the latest EarthBeat reporting and columns, plus events and climate news from around the world. |
