Real Change? How a Time of Crisis Has Shifted Philanthropy

Host Organization: Center for Effective Philanthropy

About

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.

Welcome:

Phil Buchanan, President, Center for Effective Philanthropy

Grace Nicolette, Vice President, Programming & External Relations, Center for Effective Philanthropy
