Recalibrating with Racial Healing

This fall, Candid will once again welcome nearly five hundred partner organizations for two days of peer learning and connection at our virtual Candid 2022: Network Days conference. We’re welcoming Community Foundation Insights (CF Insights) members, Funding Information Network partners, representatives from leading foundations, and other special guests to join us as we explore how the social sector can leverage what we’ve collectively learned over the past two uniquely challenging years. Together, we’ll talk about how we can respond more nimbly to the needs of our communities and continue expanding equitable access to critical support and resources, particularly for historically underserved populations.

At Network Days, we’ll explore how the field can integrate what might once have been considered temporary shifts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic into sustainable, long-term practice.

Panel Information

Recent global events have significantly impacted what many would describe as components of their individual value systems. Specifically, a global pandemic and racial reckoning have affected how we think, what we feel, and how we show up both on a personal and professional level. In matters of race, many advocate that it’s time we accelerate progress by going from a simple acknowledgment that racial inequities exist to embedding a healing mentality in how we work and what we deliver through our work. At Recalibrating with Racial Healing, hear from a distinguished panel of leaders with multi-dimensional views on how racial healing is showing up in the social sector – and why it matters.
