PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
8:30 to 9:00 AM Check-in and coffee
9:00 to 11:00 AM Program
While the economic crisis has been global and impacted everyone, research shows us that communities of color have been facing the crisis for years.
- What policies and practices helped create the crisis and how is that related to race in America?
- How can funders assist in ensuring that those most impacted by the crisis receive their share of the recovery?
- What are some of the opportunities and challenges to forging structural reform that can build a nation whose people can meet their basic needs no matter their race?
Maya Wiley, Executive Director of the Center for Social Inclusion, will lead a discussion of structural racism in a time of economic challenge and political hope. Lori Villarosa, Executive Director of the Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity, will share a range of tools available for foundations to apply the same analysis and criteria to their own grantmaking. This interactive session will provide both current strategies to increase the equitable impacts of the stimulus spending and apply those lessons for greater impact across any number of issue areas.
