Diversity makes us stronger. Large-scale movements including Black Lives Matter, Dreamers, Standing Rock and the 2016 presidential election are changing society and philanthropy along with it. Join fellow travelers for a deep dive into how they’re managing change and moving toward their values.

The Peninsula Philanthropy Network is bringing together foundations from across the spectrum to reflect on changes they’re making to the way they do business and new types of partnerships they’re forging.

Recent data shows less than seven percent of grant dollars went towards ethnic or racial minority communities in the nation, even though those groups comprise nearly 40 percent of the US population (D5 Coalition). Only six percent of grant dollars went to people with disabilities, though they represent 12 percent of the population.

Philanthropy has an opportunity to get it right. Please join us to talk about how we’re doing it, what we’re learning and where we go from here.
