Fundraising Friday: What We're Hearing From Funders in Massachusetts and Beyond

Philanthropy was built for this moment. But how is the sector actually responding to the deluge of federal actions that are crippling many of the institutions that care for and champion our neighbors and communities?                   . 

Join us for an open conversation about what the Philanthropy MA team is seeing, and in some cases leading, in the field from collaborative action and solidarity campaigns to emergency funding and pivots in grantmaking practices. Our own Phyllis Corkum, Nonprofit Programs Manager, will share survey results and observations from where we sit, bridging the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors. 

Fundraising Fridays are monthly hour-long “coffee talks” facilitated by thought leaders from the social sector. These discussion groups, held at 9:00 am the first Friday of each month, are free and open to any and all nonprofit professionals and volunteers interested in fundraising and development issues (EDs, DDs, development staff, volunteer leaders, consultants, etc.). Participants will come away with a greater understanding of the topic at hand and connections to nonprofit peers who share similar interests and concerns.
