In the third session of the 2025 Foundations of Racial Equity (FRE) series, ABFE faculty will guide participants through an introduction to ABFE’s framework for advancing racial equity through policies and practices. The training will focus on the incorporation of a structural lens to the work of grantmaking, and an introduction to the use of core tools to advance racial equity. ABFE has created a set of tools to help foundations reduce gaps in racial disparities Black people and other communities of color face in the United States. We can conduct grantmaking practices that address inequities across communities by centering an intersectional framework to address anti-Black racism within organizations.
The tools will cover the following topics: 1) Data disaggregation and disparity point analysis, 2) Racial equity impact analysis, and 3) Effective communication.
Join us to:
- Learn about ABFE’s framework for advancing racial equity through policies and practices
- Learn about ABFE’s core tools for advancing racial equity in a foundation’s grantmaking

Session Three Integration Hour: Wednesday, November 12 – 2:00 pm ET (1-hour session)
Each session is a 3-hour faculty-led session held on Thursdays from 1:00 – 4:00 pm ET for a total of five sessions. Following each session, there will be an integration hour. Integration Hours are 1-hour lightly facilitated peer-learning spaces between each faculty-led session, where participants can reflect on and apply key themes from earlier sessions to discuss how FRE topics relate to current internal and sector-wide cultural shifts, especially in the face of rapid organizational changes.
Registration: Participants must register here for the full 2025 Foundation of Racial Equity series to attend this session.
