The Center at Sierra Health Foundation and Northern California Grantmakers are teaming up to bring California funders together around the needs facing CA communities around community capacity, equitable economic development, and climate resilience. The event will highlight lessons learned in year 1 of the California Economic Mobilization Initiative (CEMI) and dive into ways in which the new federal administration may impact transformative community development and climate related initiatives. Hear from community experts across the Bay Area involved in CEMI on ways that philanthropy can continue to support and deepen impact on community-led efforts that cut across issue involving climate, housing, economic justice, workforce equity, and more.
