In the third session, 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 in the Foundations of Racial Equity series contains two parts. Part one is a 3-hour faculty-led session. Part two of each module includes an integration hour, a 1-hour lightly facilitated session. The purpose is to help participants reflect on and apply key themes from earlier sessions and create a peer-driven environment for discussing how FRE topics relate to current internal and sector-wide cultural shifts, especially in the face of rapid organizational changes. The space encourages real-time dialogue and shared learning, helping attendees connect insights to their own contexts and return to their organizations with practical tools and understanding.
Registration: Participants must register here for the full 2025 Foundation of Racial Equity series to attend this session.
