Global Greengrants Fund is excited to welcome Kumi Naidoo and Kim Hult to its Board of Directors.

Kumi Naidoo: Kumi is an internationally renowned environmental and social-justice advocate. After six years, he will step down from his position as Executive Director of Greenpeace International at the end of 2015.

‘I’m very excited to join the Greengrants board of directors,’ said Kumi Naidoo. ‘Global Greengrants focuses on targeted donations to cutting-edge groups often working in remote and indigenous areas that are in extreme need of assistance. Philanthropy that supports people at the local level to take action is a key ingredient of our fight to protect the environment and the lives of people around the world.’

Kimberly Hult: Kim is a litigation attorney at Hutchinson, Black and Cook in Boulder, Colo. Her practice concentrates on civil rights litigation, professional malpractice, and real estate litigation.

‘Global Greengrants Fund is one of the most important and best-kept secrets in Boulder,” said Kim Hult. “Being on Global Greengrants’ Board of Directors allows me to take action in my community to support people around the world in their fight for environmental rights and justice.’
