This session is part of Closing the Women’s Wealth Gap national network member meeting, Galvanizing Action for Gender Equity.

In the midst of the nation’s current racial reckoning, many philanthropists are putting dollars towards racial equity initiatives and organizations led by people of color. However, we must understand the interplay between long standing racial and gender economic inequities and the wealth and power of philanthropic institutions. How do we disrupt the very economic systems that have enabled private fortunes and philanthropy to amass enormous wealth while others struggle to get by? How do we redistribute resources and power into the hands of people most negatively impacted by these systems? Join us for an interactive discussion to explore practices for shifting power in philanthropy, generating community healing, and investing in community-driven strategies that bolster wealth, power and economic security for women of color.

Confirmed speakers for this session include:

• Pia Infante, The Whitman Institute

• Elena Chavez Quezada, The San Francisco Foundation (moderator)

• Alexandra Bastien, The Imperative Fund

• Dana Kawaoka-Chen, Justice Funders

• Tamieka Mosley, Grantmakers for Southern Progress
