Democracy from the Ground Up: The Power of Community

Join Funders' Committee for Civic Participation as they center intersectional racial justice and equity while examining the opportunities to create local and national progress. On May 10-12,  leaders across the country will come together for three days of learning and shared conversations. For the first time, practitioners and organizers are also eligible to attend our full convening. 

This year's convening goals include:

• Examining the ways that democracy demands racial justice, and how our identities shape our experiences with civic engagement work
• Shifting philanthropic practices to create a just and healthy ecosystem
• Addressing short and long-term shifts in the civic engagement landscape
• Exploring new ways to build community in our civic participation ecosystem that allow for meaningful engagement with community and nonprofit leaders
