Can Social Justice Organizations Endure? New Ideas to Get Us to “Yes”

In this “new normal” funding environment, how sincerely are social justice funders—no matter their specific area(s) of funding focus—willing to acknowledge the financial challenges facing their fields and their grantees?  And what new, creative approaches show the most promise for rebuilding the financial well-being of human and civil rights, anti-poverty, and environmental organizations?

Join us as three exceptional thinkers and do-ers help us return to seeing the glass for social justice funding as “half-full,” rather than the “half-empty” we’ve become used to.
