Want to meet other funders working on current issues in food justice? As Community Food Funders’ membership has grown across the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut region, we’re hearing from more colleagues who crave a space to share their work and to learn from others. We’re excited to launch CFF Roundtables, a new series of lunchtime meet-ups.
Join an upcoming roundtable to meet other funders interested in the same topic. Hear from each other about what is happening in the space, and discuss any opportunities or challenges that may be on the horizon. Bring your curiosity and questions about what funders are supporting as it relates to food waste, and come prepared to share what your role has been.
What to expect?
- A lunchtime Zoom meeting, feel free to bring your meal to the screen
- An issue-based gathering, hosted by funders who are active in that space
- An interactive conversation where participants will share what they are funding (or considering funding) on the topic, and any other opportunities they’d like to discuss
- No formal presentations or guest speakers. This is funders connecting with other funders
- A chance to continue meeting as a group, if desired
Speakers
- Barbara Greenberg, Philanthropic Advisor, Kenneth Goldman Donor Fund
- Hana Uman, Program Officer, Posner Foundation
Who should attend?
All interested funders are welcome to attend! Whether your focus is on nutrition or hunger, food chain workers or farmland preservation, emergency food or food waste, we all have a part to play in creating the just food system that everyone deserves. We encourage your attendance whether you’re a long-time CFF member, just entering the field of food systems change, or a curious bystander.
