Title: Fundraiser. Philanthropist. Ally. Expert., Perspectives on Race, Equity, and Action: A Discussion and Virtual Forum

Date: June 8, 2020

Description:

We have all watched a truly unprecedented time unfold before us. First, the Coronavirus pandemic, and now in addition to that crisis, the nation – and worldwide reaction to racial injustice. From recent conversations with those in the black community and communities of color to many allies who are not people of color, but who want to know what can be done to take action, I have determined that it is time for a real, honest dialogue about how we can move forward and enact change; first as human beings and then as a professional community of fundraisers and philanthropists. WID and the newly established Women of Color in Fundraising and Philanthropy join forces to tackle these difficult issues.

Until then, let us stand together against racism and for justice. Onward, Upward, Forward
