Leading with Courage: Reshaping Southern Philanthropy for a New Era

GEO and Philanthropy Southeast present a webinar on “Leading with Courage: Reshaping Southern Philanthropy for a New Era”

In recent years, the American South – like other parts of the country – has faced unprecedented challenges ranging from a global pandemic to environmental disasters to heightened political polarization. Philanthropy has responded not only with increased funding, but also new approaches to community investment and civic leadership.

In this webinar, we’ll partner with Philanthropy Southeast to explore their report, Leading with Courage: Reshaping Southern Philanthropy for a New Era, and examine the cultural, social, and political forces that are influencing Southern communities. This conversation will provide an in-depth look at the ways foundations and other philanthropic institutions are adapting to meet the evolving needs of those they serve. We will also discuss emerging trends and innovative practices in philanthropy through the first-hand stories of grantmakers who are reimagining and reshaping Southern Philanthropy for a new era.
