About this event
In 2020, foundations shifted their grantmaking practices quickly to respond to multiple compounding crises, but it was unclear whether these changes would be sustained -- as we highlighted in CEP’s Foundations Respond to Crisis series released late last year. Are the changes in practice still in place and likely to continue? Has foundation philanthropy changed fundamentally? Or was 2020 a blip? CEP will share our latest findings, drawn from just completed research, in this free interactive webinar.
