Workshops

We offer three dynamic workshops designed to support grantmakers to transform their practice in service of nonprofits and communities. Each workshop provides a deep, interactive learning experience to help grantmakers strengthen their approach to equity-centered practices.

Capacity Building

  • Duration: 1-day workshop (6-8 hours)
  • This workshop explores how grantmakers and capacity builders can center intersectional racial equity in capacity-building efforts, mitigate inequities, and adapt strategies to ensure they align with community needs. Participants will gain tools to integrate equity-centered practices into their work.

Culture

  • Duration: 1 or 2-day workshop (6-8 hours per day)
  • Participants will assess their current organizational culture, explore alignment between values and behaviors, and identify concrete steps to cultivate an equitable and inclusive environment.
