Partner Webinar: North Carolina Network of Grantmakers: A Conversation with GEO’s Marcus Walton

Grantmakers for Effective Organizations is dedicated to identifying grantmaking practices that enable nonprofits to be successful, and to helping foundations adapt to the changing needs of the organizations they support. Join us for a conversation with GEO’s new president and CEO, Marcus Walton, who will share his thoughts on how funders can help nonprofits survive this economic crisis, and his hopes for how philanthropy can move past COVID-19 as more effective and equitable community partners. This time of crisis has made clear that philanthropy must not merely make short-term changes for temporary relief, but pivot to a new normal. How can we be better partners for the long haul, and permanently change processes and practices that are not serving us, or nonprofits, but are in fact barriers to effecting transformational change? What does it take to build, operationalize and sustain a trust-based culture that proactively addresses power and equity?
