Day 3 Concurrent Session - What's Your Equity Footprint?
It is not enough for foundations to simply avoid inequitable practices in a society premised on white supremacy and patriarchy; rather, foundations must consciously dedicate themselves to centering equity in all facets of their institutions’ work. Rather than simply minimizing a damaging footprint, an Equity Footprint invites the foundation to enact positive, equitable change.This conversation seeks to provide a framework, a lens, and perhaps some tools to support foundations to interrogate their respective cultures, practices and norms, toward the aim of embedding equity.

DAY 1 CONCURRENT SESSION | Shifting Power: Understanding Advocacy as an Equity Strategy
In recent years, many funders have focused on how to better infuse equity into their philanthropy, and, separately, on the role of advocacy in their work. What few have realized is that these two concepts are deeply intertwined.
The systemic imbalances of power that give rise to advocacy work are also at the heart of many of the pressing challenges facing communities of color. Forward-thinking funders looking to have impact must address both. This session will explore the connection between race, power, inequity, and pressing social issues.

Two areas loom large: How do we help nonprofits build capacity around digital engagement, particularly at a time when in-person activity is limited, so they can build relationships with current and potential supporters? How can nonprofits and foundations assess the impact of their efforts beyond their own organizations and build momentum toward moving the needle on recalcitrant problems on a citywide, regional, or state level?
