Join Our Community
Our community is about coming together as funders from grantmaking organizations to resource and do the work to move the needle on social justice by shifting power to parents and families in all systems that impact them.
Join the movement to see families in the drivers’ seat for systems change!
Community members come together to...
- Make significant changes in their philanthropic practices to center families and work towards racial equity.
- Share their successes and learnings that can help other philanthropic organizations maximize equitable impacts.
- Utilize the Philanthropic Self-Reflection Tool and participate in our learning events, to unlock the full power of this reflection tool, learn how others are using it, and forge a path forward for their teams.
- Access and grow our Resource Library, with work from a vast network of other funders, grantee partners, and field experts that detail creative, thoughtful, justice-oriented practices in philanthropy.
- Join Funders for Family Leadership events, where their organization will share knowledge, be challenged, and have a safe space to engage with and form relationships with parent leaders who are leading the way for social justice.
Community Members have access to member-only events and convenings, and can participate in our parent-funder workgroup to help advance FFL’s Vision for Parent Partnership.
There is one designated member from each organization that serves as a primary member of Funders for Family Leadership. Other internal foundation colleagues of the designated member are always welcome to participate in activities. There is no required time commitment, and participation in activities is optional, but strongly encouraged. We would love to have you for at least one event each year to maintain this learning community.
Join the Funders for Family Leadership Community
If you are committed to seeing families at the forefront of systems change, and want to be part of a movement to change philanthropic practice to make this happen, we invite you to join us!
Your foundation’s involvement will contribute to a stronger network supporting families and their leadership, shifting power, and moving the needle on social/racial justice.
Systems change like this requires resources and your foundation’s support is certainly welcomed. If you are interested in resourcing the movement to shift power to family leaders, you can contribute below or contact us for guidance on giving.
