SUMMARY:Education Funders Lunch
DESCRIPTION:Register Here \n\n\n\nAmid the ongoing changes and uncertainties in education\, we invite you to join us for an informal lunch with fellow education funders. This gathering is an open space to share insights\, exchange ideas\, and discuss how we can navigate this moment together. There won’t be formal presentations—just an opportunity to connect\, compare notes\, and explore how we can collectively respond to the evolving landscape. Your perspectives will also help shape relevant programming moving forward. We hope you can join us in building community and supporting each other through these changing times.
