Mar 10, 2021

12:30pm – 1:15pm CT

***To ensure an engaging and productive conversation, attendance will be capped at 30 people. The Zoom link will be available on this page 5 minutes before the session start time. Please note, clicking the “Register” button does NOT guarantee access, as attendees will be let in from the waiting room on a first come, first served basis.*** The COVID-19 pandemic, combined with heightened focus on racial equity, sparked discussions on a reimagining of America’s schools. How can education funders adapt to this moment? Facilitated by leaders of the Grantmakers for Education Arts Education Impact Group, this session will take a laser focus on education funder practice — creating a space to discuss failure, new opportunities, and transparency in grantmaking that supports all learners and culturally relevant, community-connected schools.
