Funding equity: New avenues to address historic inequities
About the Video
As our new political reality shifts federal grantmaking and limits opportunities for nonprofits to prioritize initiatives focused on creating equitable and accessible communities, we must find new ways to fund the future we envision. This means embracing innovative strategies to advance our work, regardless of the current circumstances. This panel features leaders with deep experience in funding equity-centered work, including experts from CDFIs, philanthropy, community organizations, and the government. Together, they explore creative funding strategies to help keep your projects moving forward and making an impact. Moderated by James Hardy, Interim Deputy Director at RWJF, this discussion brings an optimistic, future-oriented outlook on funding our work despite the current climate.
