Equitable Development Conference Conversation 4

Is this the moment we can expand giving and explore grassroots models of funding and community investment?
 

Equitable development requires commitment of time and money. In the face of the out sized challenges of our times, is this the moment we needed to push ourselves and others to expand what our ideals of philanthropy could look like? Can a movement unfold that advocates for radical change, while also learning from models that explore grassroots community investment? 

Join PACDC on September 2nd at 10:30 AM as we explore these questions with folks testing and stretching philanthropy locally and nationally.
