The Role of Place Based Funders in Keeping People and Communities Safe

When someone is harmed by those meant to support them, an organizations’ inability to prevent abuse receives intense public scrutiny, as seen with cases such as U.S. Gymnastics and the Boy Scouts.

How do you engage grantees in this process and what resources can you use to do this? This interactive session will share examples of foundations addressing these questions and will provide practical guidance, tools and resources.
