No Time for Neutral: Foundations Taking the Lead (Invite only)

-

This closed-door conversation will focus on how and where philanthropy is leading efforts to ensure that community needs are met as U.S. government funding is pulled back from vital research, programs, and services across sectors. How can funders take action to build resilience and avert potential disaster, both domestically and around the world? We’ll look at what responsive, risk-tolerant funding really means right now, how to back frontline organizations navigating game changing gaps, collaborating across sectors, and what it takes to protect progress when government support is no longer guaranteed.
