Community Philanthropy’s Opportunities to Build Inclusive Communities

Community philanthropic organizations have the opportunity to play pivotal roles in systems change to build inclusive communities–communities that share economic, social, and political power with all residents regardless of race, class, gender, or culture. In this session, we’ll hear from philanthropic leaders who have led their communities in affecting change related to concerns of racism in their local communities and beyond. Systems change cannot be achieved by individual people or organizations working in isolation. Instead, panelists will share their successes and challenges in building coalitions within their organizations and in the community to lead systems change. This convening is sponsored by a generous grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Reception to follow.
