Funding Forward 2014 is shaping up to be the best gathering of grantmakers commited to LGBTQ issues yet! Our planning committee is deeply engaged, our members submitted a high volume of thoughtful and innovative session proposals and the local community in Philadelphia is going out of their way to welcome us. Funding Forward 2014 is bound to be a huge success.
(Early Bird Rates end February 14th)
Funding Forward is our time to come together as a philanthropic community to teach, learn and strengthen our network. The detailed agenda for the conference will be released soon, but here are just a few of the highlights:
We join in mourning the loss of Urvashi Vaid. Her legacy will live on in the many relationships she nurtured, the organizations she led and supported, and the vision for justice she embodied. We honor her life and work as an activist, funder, writer, and mentor. Rest in power.
"Urvashi Vaid was a leader, a warrior, and a force to be reckoned with," said @TheTaskForce executive director Kierra Johnson. https://www.advocate.com/news/2022/5/14/legendary-activist-urvashi-vaid-dies-63?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=news
As lawmakers attack trans youth across the country, how do we understand this as part of decades-long right-wing political strategies? And how do we better support movements to fight back?
