The Commons in Conversation with Joe Goldman

What is the post-election future of efforts to strengthen democracy? Democracy Fund president Joe Goldman joins Chronicle of Philanthropy CEO Stacy Palmer on Wednesday, November 13, at 12:30 p.m. ET to discuss his work with dozens of funders to ensure nonprofits on the frontlines — including advocacy organizations and journalism outlets — have the resources they need to meet the challenges ahead. And they’ll explore what issues must rise to the fore now that ballots have been cast. 

Over the past decade, Democracy Fund and its 501(c)(4) affiliate Democracy Fund Voice have committed more than $425 million to work creating a more vibrant and diverse public square, free and fair elections, effective and accountable government, and a just and inclusive society.
