Centering Equity in Philanthropy: A Lifelong Journey

Are you interested in deepening your understanding of equity work in the nonprofit sector? Kris Hermanns, Chief Impact Officer at Seattle Foundation and former Executive Director at Pride Foundation, will share stories and insights from her experience with centering equity at both organizations.

During this 90-minute lunch program you will identify practical next steps that your organization can take when embarking on or continuing on your equity journey as well as begin to build an initial set of resources to serve as ongoing references.

Invite your colleagues and board members to join you at this lunch so that you can foster the beginnings of a community of practice focused on equity and access new ideas and resources to help with the process.
