How can philanthropy improve civil society to help achieve equity for all communities? Featuring case studies from our updated Democracy Lens project, we will discuss democracy-building initiatives across our network. We will also highlight data about democracy grantmaking and civic participation in the region. Whether your organization is already involved in this line of work or just starting to learn about the civic funding landscape, hear from peers in the Philanthropy Northwest network who will discuss their strategies and lessons learned that may be applied in your own communities.
