The Regional Community Philanthropy Group is a space for community philanthropy organizations to foster connections and build relationships with other community philanthropy organizations and share learning on relevant and emerging sector topics.
This upcoming session will be focused on the ways organizations are responding to the current moment using different advocacy levers. This will be an opportunity to have frank conversations on the impacts of federal policies in our communities and what local and state advocacy efforts can look like to support communities.
