Category: Events
Join us for Resisting the Urge to Bury DEI, presented by: Associated Black Charities (ABC), Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), and Baltimore Public Relations Council (BPRC) As federal policy shifts and funding sources tighten, many organizations are grappling with tough decisions about the future of their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) commitments. Some are rolling back, others are reframing, and a few are standing firm. How do we move forward without compromising progress? Join nonprofit leaders, fundraisers, and communications professionals for a candid conversation, Wednesday, March 26th, on how to sustain DEI efforts despite funding challenges, policy changes, and increasing external pressures. Key Discussion Points: ✅ Transparency & Trust: Communicating with donors, funders, and stakeholders in a way that reinforces commitment, builds trust, and attracts alternative support. ✅ Strategic Resilience & Innovation: The role of partnerships, advocacy, and mission alignment in sustaining DEI commitments amid shifting landscapes. ✅ The Funding Landscape: How nonprofits can diversify revenue streams, explore corporate and foundation partnerships, and leverage fee-for-service models. Walk away with actionable insights, practical strategies, and a renewed commitment to keeping DEI at the center of your mission. Contact: AFP Maryland, [email protected] |
