Funding Forward 2017 is just around the corner and we are eager to welcome over 200 funders and movement leaders to Seattle – our largest convening yet! As we put the finishing touches on a full program of plenaries and workshops we wanted to give you a taste of some of the issues featured this year. Check out these links for articles, videos, and other content submitted by FF17 presenters. Enjoy!
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.
