Webinar: The Future of Equitable Philanthropy
The ambitious work of building an inclusive and more equitable world where everyone can thrive deserves immense attention.
Though attacks on equity persist, (e.g. the Supreme Court’s rollback of affirmative action, the ongoing lawsuits it unleashed against DEI efforts, and legal threats against race-conscious funding), we are driven by a truth we hear repeatedly: the very existence of such intense opposition is evidence of all the success and progress that has already been made.
And—now more than ever, organizations leading the work on racial equity need philanthropic institutions to lean in (e.g. via financial resources, influence, bringing along peers, etc.).
