Time: 1 - 2 p.m. ET

In "Endow Black-Led Nonprofits," authors Darren Isom and William Foster write that endowments are not only a gift of money, they are also a transfer of power. This practice is rarely deployed, however, when it comes to social change organizations led by people of color.

  • Make the case for funding nonprofit endowments (particularly for BIPOC-led organizations)
  • Talk about how various social sector actors can play a role in endowing more nonprofits
