PEAK2024 Keynote | Reimagining Persistence

Between the current threatening and divisive environment and philanthropy’s tendency to avoid risk, the sector at large is retreating from its commitments to investing in diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, eroding some positive changes we have seen over the past few years.  But some organizations are refusing to back down.

In this panel discussion, four sector leaders—Walter & Elise Haas Fund’s Jamie Allison, Stupski Foundation’s Glen Galaich, Philanthropy Northwest’s Jill Nishi, Native Americans in Philanthropy’s Erik Stegman—spoke about both the strategies and tactics grants professionals can use to lead from where they sit to guide their organizations in recalibrating their approach to and doubling down on racial equity.
