Monday, May 4, 2:30pm-4:00pm
Atlanta, GA, at the Council on Foundations Annual Conference CORE will present the workshop:
Engaging Donors of Color: How to Invest in, Support and Celebrate all Givers

Panelists:
• Melissa Johnson, Field Director, National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy
• Taij Moteelall, Outgoing Executive Director, Resource Generation
• Darryl Lester, President, Hindsight Consulting, Inc
• Raquel Donoso, Executive Director, Latino Community Foundation

Declining safety net programs and social institutions disproportionately affect communities of color, yet over the last 10 years, grantmaking for these communities has declined. Philanthropy must become more responsive to donors of color as a way of investing in racial and ethnic minority communities and ensuring sustainability of the nonprofit sector. Presenters will introduce tools and discuss strategies to deepen and expand philanthropic participation within communities of color. This session is ideal for community foundations, public foundations, philanthropic advisors, and anyone working to engage and support donor communities.
