Day 1 Concurrent Session - Tackling Housing Justice
For the 100 million Americans — especially people of color, living at or below 200 percent of the poverty level — housing costs and homelessness pose one of the most fundamental threats to our ability to thrive as a nation. Many factors have contributed to the root causes of the current state of housing, including racially-biased government policies, systems, and structures; predatory capital practices and speculative markets; land and building costs; and extreme income inequality have all played a role in creating the affordability crisis we are experiencing today.
Closing Session: Gun Violence and Implications for the Region

In this session, HealthSpark Foundation staff, a nonprofit participant, and a community partner will discuss their experiences in this community-driven process, share lessons learned from building collective vision during this momentous time in history, and outline key actions their organization will be taking as a result of this work.
DAY 2 CONCURRENT SESSION | Trust-Based Philanthropy in 4D: Values, Cultures, Leadership, Practice
The potential of trust-based philanthropy goes beyond unrestricted grants and streamlined paperwork. Trust-based philanthropy can show us the way toward co-creating a sector in which community and nonprofit leaders are valued, supported, and trusted. For this vision to become the norm in philanthropy, funders must center trust in every dimension of our work, both internally and externally. This begins with acknowledging and addressing issues of power and equity in all aspects of our organizations.
