Creating Equity in Philanthropy with Kerri Forrest

So often, when grant-seekers apply for funding, it can be a black box.  Who makes the decisions, how and why?  The process can be particularly opaque for BIPOC-led nonprofits who don’t have a network to access privileged information.  Join me and Kerri Forrest, Director at the Gaylord and Dorothy Donnelly Foundation, to share some of the changes they have made to make their funding more equitable.  From being an open space for grantees to drop by to simplifying grant applications, hear some of Kerri’s advice to fellow foundation staff.
