Fair Representation in Redistricting is preparing to release Reimagining Redistricting, a case study on philanthropy’s unprecedented investment in promoting district maps that fairly represent people of color during the 2021 - 2022 redistricting cycle. Join funders and philanthropy-serving organizations for a conversation with report author Bill Woodwell.
He will be joined by speakers including Javier Valdés (U.S. Director of Civic Engagement and Government, Ford Foundation, and Co-Chair of FRR), Erica Teasley Linnick (Vice President, NEO Philanthropy, and Director, State Infrastructure Fund), Salewa Ogunmefun (Executive Director, Pennsylvania Voice), Angela Cheng (Senior Program Officer, Democracy, The JPB Foundation), Erika Wood (Senior Program Officer, Civic Engagement and Government, Ford Foundation), Giridhar Mallya (Senior Policy Officer, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation), and Bonnie Kwon (Policy Officer, W. K. Kellogg Foundation).
We will cover topics such as why funders engaged in redistricting activities, the value of the FRR funder collaborative, grantee perspectives on the initiative, and lessons learned that the philanthropic community can apply going forward.
Co-sponsored by The Grove Foundation, The JPB Foundation, New York Community Trust, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, State Infrastructure Fund, and W. K. Kellogg Foundation.
