Foundations working toward racial equity and/or racial justice are experiencing new and deepened challenges to progress, from actions by the federal administration to reactionary rollbacks in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) commitments and legal challenges of programs designed to address long-standing harms.
In partnership with Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity (PRE) and Race Forward, this session will unpack opportunities for philanthropy to strategically navigate pushback on DEI using all the tools and resources available to us while also recognizing the threats and concerns present for our field. This will be a supportive space for foundations to consider how you can meet this moment.
