*This program is hosted by our partner, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR), who has extended an invitation to PNY members.*
Following GCIR’s three-part series on combatting authoritarianism, we are hosting a discussion space for funders interested in connecting with peers for a deeper dive.
In part one of our series, we confronted the reality of ongoing autocratic attacks on civil society, including grantee organizations fighting for economic and social justice for immigrants, women, LGBTQ+, and other communities. In the second session, experts with international experience shared lessons on democratic backsliding abroad and how they might be applied domestically. In our final session, we heard from funders and frontline organizations defending their communities against the militarization of cities like Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.
This follow up discussion space is designed for funders who wish to be in dialogue with their peers about how they are grappling with the reality of authoritarianism and adapting their posture and grantmaking. It is open to all interested funders, whether you attended all, or none, of the previous learning sessions. Please note that this session will not include guest presenters, and rather will draw on participants’ knowledge, curiosity, and willingness to engage in generative discussion.
Who should attend?
Staff and board members of foundations, corporate-giving programs, philanthropic consultancies, affinity groups, and invited governmental grantmaking agencies.
