Philanthropy and Racial Equity: Achieving Equity…How Exactly?
Thursday, September 07, 2017 at 01:00 to 03:30 PM

In this session, you’ll hear what foundations are doing broadly to incorporate equity internally, as well as ways Maryland Philanthropy Network funders are making equity a part of their day-to-day operations. Then, you’ll have the opportunity for small group discussions and a chance to ask deeper questions of each panelist, as you create your own plan for next steps to address equity within your own foundation.
