Strengthening and Unifying Communities Through Effective Grantmaking

Join GEO’s Marcus Walton at the National Network of Consultants to Grantmakers for a conversation on effective grantmaking practices and the critical value of applying a racial equity lens to those practices.

In this event, participants will also learn about GEO’s core principles of building capacity; collaboration; flexible, reliable funding; learning and evaluation; strengthening relationships; and equitable philanthropy.

• Discuss the usefulness and limits of using grantmaking practice alone to advance equity-based and community-informed change
• Understand the transformational ways that a racial equity perspective can be used to consider philanthropy and giving
• Engage in Q&A to consider questions that may be deemed too sensitive or unwelcome in other forums As we all operate amid ongoing calls for racial justice and changes to our old ways of operating, join this conversation to learn how to support clients as they lean into this moment, ensuring that philanthropy serves as a strengthening and unifying presence in our communities.
