Description
Presented by the Chronincal of Philanthropy and Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT)
No matter what issue your organization supports, polarization is making progress harder. When trust declines and viewpoints radicalize, the possibilities for making progress on issues from education to public health, climate and justice becomes much more difficult.
What role can philanthropy play? Join us for a timely discussion on how funders can position their organizations to act in the short and long term to reduce divisions, strengthen civic trust, and respond both to drivers and consequences of polarization.
You'll hear:
-
What we currently know and don’t know about the "hyper-problem" of polarization
-
Lessons learned from the early tools and strategies used in response to polarization
-
New ideas for increasing the impact that philanthropy can have on the issue
Hear from our panel during a 45-minute discussion, followed by 15 minutes dedicated to audience Q&A. Submit your questions privately throughout the session — your name and question won’t be visible to other attendees.
