How Can Foundations Affect Family Economic Stability and System Change

How do funders build lasting change in our communities? The Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga and The Pew Charitable Trusts share examples of recent partnerships in Tennessee and Minnesota on strategies and tools to address eviction and court-enforced debt collection. This session will share key takeaways on how to engage donors, policymakers, directly affected communities, and foundation staff when embarking on a new system change effort. Participants will work together on active strategies to strengthen partnerships and engage key stakeholders to successfully implement a system change initiative.
