Relationships and Power: Listening Well

Join us to explore how intentional practices of listening can help shift power between philanthropic families and their partners, within grantmaking relationships, and among communities that funders serve; deepen relationships; and support equitable outcomes.

Participants will reflect on how families can engage authentically with grantees and communities, ask effective questions, interpret what they hear, and respond in ways that strengthen mutual trust, co-creation, and agency. You’ll leave with actionable takeaways for how your philanthropic practice can be more relational, equitable, and grounded in the voices of those you aim to serve.
