Black, Indigenous and other people of color in the U.S. have always built what was needed by their communities, allowing them to thrive even when resources were scarce and the threat of violence was high. In today’s fraught political climate filled with DEI backlash, and increasing racial violence, now is the time for investors to double down on investing in Black and Indigenous led funds. Join us to hear from fund leaders on what their communities need and what it really takes to build new funds in today’s climate. This panel is for anyone, but especially philanthropy and investors who want to be at the forefront of supporting innovative BIPOC led funds.
