**Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion**

Equity and social justice are often not associated with non-profit fundraising. Yet, these values are important as non-profits often make a wide impact on children, youth, and families in VA. Join us for a conversation around Community-Centric Fundraising – a fundraising model that focuses on the community being served versus the traditional focus on donors. Participation in this model means building people power through philanthropy and advocacy and an opportunity to break down the barriers that maintain institutions of privilege, such as the non-profit industrial complex. Join us to learn tactical tools and strategies to build strong and respectful relationships with donors to authentically empower the children and families served. Register here.
