About this Event

About This Event

From ICE raids on immigrants to rollbacks of trans, environmental and DEI protections to attacks on voting and reproductive rights and more, we are living in a time of more severe and widespread assaults on rights and justice than at any time in the last 100 years. How are donors in New York responding to these crises, which jeopardize the communities they serve and where foundations themselves are targeted?

  • Rickke Mananzala — Executive Director, New York Foundation

Moderator

  • Gara LaMarche — Leader-in-Residence, Colin Powell School
