Closing Plenary & Lunch
What Does Philanthropy Need to Do Differently to Help Shift Power Toward Marginalized Communities?
In closing our three-day exploration of people, place, and power, we will directly address the big question at the heart of this conference: what must we as funders do differently if we truly want to use our power to help those in marginalized communities to build their collective power? What charge should we go home with? We will mine the collective wisdom of the room to help answer this question for NFG as a network, for each of our institutions, and for each of us personally. A dynamic group of forward-thinking funders and movement leaders will provoke us in our discussion.
