Join Diverse City Fund and Special Guest Vanessa Daniel, the Founder and Executive Director of Groundswell Fund, and convener of An Open Letter to Philanthropy, in celebration of our 10th anniversary. The Open Letter, which was co-signed by over 30 funds including DC Fund, calls on private donors and foundations to invest in movement accountable funds led by people of the global majority. A panel of partners will discuss how DC Fund’s community-led grantmaking works to dismantle white supremacy in philanthropy while supporting movement efforts to make DC a more racially and socially just city; and how much closer to that goal we could be if the Open Letter’s call to action is answered.

Our Panel:
Jordan Curry Carter, Panel Moderator, DC Fund Board of Instigators
April Goggans, DC Fund Co-Founder and BLM Core Organizer
Kristi Matthews, DC Fund Grantmaking Team member and Coordinator of DC Girls Coalition
Sophia Miyoshi, Grantee and Lead Organizer with ROC DC
