Resisting Policy, Changing Systems, and Building Powerhttps://www.abfe.org/events/resisting-policy-changing-systems-and-building-powerAugust 20, 2025VirtualWorkshop"Will the IRS revoke our tax exempt status?" "Will our donors get cold feet?" "Will our grantees feel left behind?" Questions like these and other fears prevent many funders from identifying upstream causes and seeking solutions. Systems change work is often limited to advocacy that benefits philanthropy itself rather than the communities we serve. Join us for a practical discussion about how to pursue policy and systems change that is mission-driven, boldly committed to racial equity and power building in Black communities.

In the face of anti-DEI backlash, equity fatigue, and rising hostility to progress, it's important for philanthropy to double down and be proactive, not paralyzed.

Keeping ABFE's Responsive Philanthropy in Black Communities Framework at the center, we'll use current examples to help you develop systematic responses to mobilize resources at your organization.		ABFEhttps://www.abfe.org/
