Overview
This group is for individuals who work in philanthropy and identify as Black, African and/or African-American. Through informal virtual and in-person gatherings, they meet to develop authentic relationships, strengthen community bonds and connect with peers who share similar lived experiences and identities. We envision a philanthropic sector where Black leaders can step into their leadership rooted in their values, are in solidarity with one another, and know joy as their baseline, where isolation in the field is not the norm.
Eligibility: Participation in this group is open to individuals in philanthropic organizations who identify as Black, African and/or African-American. You do not need to be a Philanthropy Northwest member to join this group.
By joining this peer network, you’ll get access to:
- Quarterly virtual and in-person gatherings to connect and collaborate
- The Black Folks in Philanthropy Group listserv, where you can post questions and tap into the collective knowledge of the network (see our listserv policy here)
- Opportunities to grow professionally by co-chairing the group, serving on the steering committee or speaking at events
