Thank you for your interest in Philanthropy New York’s Leading With Race Equity: Building Stronger Culture and Practice, created in partnership with True North EDI.

This intensive, six-month peer cohort training is designed to help leaders interested in building equitable practice both inside and outside their organizations. Leading with Race Equity is a high challenge/high support space that will help participants recognize and activate the spheres of power and influence their roles provide in changing organizational practice. It is an invitation to develop the tools and resources, committed relationships and patience needed to move from commitment to action.
Thanks to support from Deutsche Bank, we are able to offer this unique intensive program at a reduced cost:
· $600 per participant
· $1,100 for a pair of participants from a single member organization
· $1,650 for a pair of participants and one trustee from a single member organization
Application deadline: Wednesday, June 26, 2024
THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED FOR:

Leading With Race Equity is open to Philanthropy New York members only.  We encourage staff from both the operational and grantmaking sides of the foundation to apply as cross-departmental teams. Greater consideration will be given to pairs or teams who influence and oversee some level of change within an organization’s culture or grantmaking portfolio. We will allow three members of an organization to attend if the third member is a trustee. Applicants should demonstrate that they are:
  • Committed – Applicants are making a commitment to racial equity and can articulate why this is important for them personally, their roles and their institutions
  • Informed – Applicants possess a fundamental understanding of key operational definitions (race, racism, equity vs equality, implicit bias) and can identify intersectional structures of marginalization and oppression
  • Empowered – Applicants can articulate the sphere of influence and leadership their role provides in influencing and changing organizational practices
