About the webinar...
Helping Donors & Clients See through a DEI Lens: Creating a More Just and Equitable Society through Philanthropy As we all go about our goal of raising money for, or directing much-needed funds to, nonprofit organizations, it is important to find entry points where we can bring up the subject of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) to these donors and clients. It is also integral to diversifying the donor pool. We can do this by assessing our own strengths in order to determine our role in moving equity forward. Join our presenter, Yolanda F. Johnson, as she delivers tools and strategies for personal assessment, donor diversification, and for opening doors. Together, we can help donors and clients see through a DEI lens, and by doing so, create a more just and equitable sector and society. About the presenter...
