We are Listening and Learning Together
Community Foundations have a rich history of community leadership: their work has long-centered on raising awareness and fostering community dialogue, identifying and engaging donors, and helping to set the agenda for community stability and well-being. Through this leadership, we are asking our community to join us in the learning and discussion around racial disparities and social equity issues.
There is growing recognition in Palm Beach County of the importance of exposure through specific workshops as they provide foundational knowledge and shared experience to move forward in common purpose. The trainings are outlined below as well as several organizing efforts.
