Last week, the Gifford staff traveled to Baltimore to attend The Funders Network 25th Anniversary Conference with the theme — Be Bold Together. Gifford ED Sheena Solomon currently serves as board chair of the organization. 🤝 The event brought together hundreds of grantmakers representing a broad spectrum of place-based philanthropy, from small, rural community organizations to large urban foundations, to discuss taking bold actions and pursuing meaningful collaborations that will help unlock environmental, economic, and racial justice in the years ahead. 🌎✨ The team gained new ideas and inspiration from the valuable skill-building sessions, thought-provoking breakouts, and compelling plenary speakers!
