ABFE is proud to introduce our new Wednesday Workshop Community Series, designed to empower philanthropy professionals in navigating today's challenges. In the face of anti-DEI backlash, equity fatigue, and rising hostility to progress, it's important for philanthropy to double down and be proactive, not paralyzed.
Join us for the inaugural virtual webinar on Wednesday, July 31, from 1 - 4:30 PM EDT, titled "What's Race Got to Do with It?: Using ABFE's Racial Back-Mapping Tool for Root-Cause Analysis." Led by our Philanthropic Advising Services team and rooted with ABFE’s Responsive Philanthropy in Black Communities framework, these monthly workshops are crafted to turn anxiety into actionable strategies.
We'll share a suite of tools and tips for addressing internal and external pressure to be race neutral, recent shifts away from racially equitable programs in grantmaking, and other unique challenges faced across the sector. This program benefits from the interaction among participants with a broad range of experiences, identities, backgrounds, institutional affiliations, and roles within those institutions. Senior, mid-level and entry-level staff, program and administrative staff, board members, donors, and others seeking professional development are encouraged to participate. Individuals representing community foundations, corporate foundations, family foundations, individual donors, and grantees are all welcome. Whether familiar or new to ABFE's work, an ABFE Member or a non-member, we invite you to register.
