Funders are Evolving, Too:  Takeaways from the Past Three Years
 
Drawing on a half century of work with grantmakers, Philanthropy Massachusetts staff will offer perspectives on how the funding community has been changing in response to the pandemic, to the renewed exposure of racial inequities, and now to the challenge of helping to create a new and better normal. Participants will learn about trends in the grantmaking world that address the calls for transparency, flexibility, and trust-based philanthropy. You will come away with tips on how to focus your fundraising efforts and build relationships with institutional funders.
