Wednesday, June 11
Join us for an engaging workshop that takes you on a journey through a community foundation’s efforts to build community power and foster widespread public support for equitable policies and practices. In this interactive session, we’ll explore how Fairfield County's Community Foundation leverages its financial, political, and social capital to build more just and equitable social systems. This session is for foundation staff in program, grantmaking, community engagement, communication, and advocacy; foundation trustees exploring questions about advocacy; and for those looking to leverage intermediaries to advance change.
