Registration: Funders Learning Experience on Climate, Gentrification, and Policing in Atlanta, GA | June 26-27th
In these times of multiple crises, political repression, and a future that is uncertain, we are thankful for organizers around the country, and particularly in the South, who build on the legacies of resistance in what continues to be a fight for the heart and soul of this country. 

We are excited for this first-time collaboration between the Funders' Collaborative on Youth Organizing (FCYO) and Funders for Justice (FFJ) in Atlanta, GA, on June 26-27, 2023!  This partnership offers a two-day funder learning experience that connects philanthropic leaders directly with on-the-ground organizers based in Atlanta and nationally. We are coming together at the intersection of the impact of the climate crisis, gentrification, and policing in the South.  

Join a growing community of funders who understand that a well-resourced and strategically aligned youth and multigenerational organizing field is critical to achieving the world we all deserve.

Who this learning experience is for
This is a space for individuals who work in the philanthropic sector (program officers, advisors, etc.) interested in learning about Youth Organizing and multigenerational organizing and the role philanthropy can play in amplifying the work of BIPOC movements to end criminalization and grassroots organizing in the South.

This learning experience is planned in partnership with organizers in the South.  A small fee will be associated with the Monday session to support the local presenters and their work. Funders for Justice will follow up with additional details if you indicate that you are interested in that site visit.

NOTE: We require all attendees to be fully vaccinated (two shots and a booster) against COVID-19. Attendees must show proof of vaccination upon arrival/check-in for our events (a physical card or photograph showing two doses and a booster shot are acceptable). Attendees will also be required to test daily and mask while indoors.
