Session at the 2022 AFP ICON Conference referenced in this episode: 

Putting Our Fundraising Cards on the Table: A Conversation with Funders and Practitioners on Equity-Centered Philanthropy
COVID-19 and the national dialog on social injustice have revealed deep gaps in health care, economic opportunity, quality of education, and access to justice for communities of color. Fundraisers are tasked to increase the capacity of their organization to bridge these gaps, in partnership with major donors, public and private foundations, and the corporate sector. This session will use Las Vegas, ICON's host city, as an example in how philanthropy can be part of a community's response to expanding inclusion, diversity, equity, and access. The Alford Group is proud to sponsor the ICON2022 IDEA workshop. Join us to learn how our role as fundraisers most effectively contributes to IDEA.

Speakers: Punam Mather, Maria Jose Gatti, Corrine Grant, and Andre Wade
