The Ecological Forecasting Initiative (EFI; https://ecoforecast.org/) is an international, grassroots consortium that fosters an interdisciplinary community of practice for near-term (daily to decadal) ecological forecasting. Achieving this goal requires a diverse and inclusive community of researchers working together.

Examples of how donated funds will be used include but are not limited to: Student awards, student travel scholarships, student publication costs, conference events, and EFI-supported seminar series.
