2014 NCG Annual Conference | Be the Change: Philanthropy and a Thriving Society for All

This very palpable and charged conversation is happening in the media, at public hearings, and online. Recognizing that foundation grantees and the communities they serve are also feeling the effects of this economic environment, it is clear that the issues surrounding income inequality in our communities and how it affects grantmaking cannot be ignored.
