SUMMARY:Streamlining Demographic Data Collection (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Funders are increasingly requesting demographic data from nonprofits to better understand who they are—and are not—supporting. However\, due to the lack of comprehensive and public demographic data available\, this results in a heavy burden on nonprofits to provide the information in a variety of ways and formats. \nDemographics via Candid empowers nonprofits to share their demographic data one time \, on their Candid profile\, where it can be accessed and re-used by all. Candid freely provides nonprofit demographic data to make the granting process quicker\, easier\, and more efficient.  Hear more about this initiative from Forefront\, Healthy Communities Foundation\, and Candid. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:The 2024 Election and the Path Ahead (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:In a year in which immigrants have been openly and regularly denigrated for cynical partisan purposes\, the 2024 election has immigrants and their families understandably worried. The rising threat of authoritarianism and white nationalism – and the attendant political violence\, hate crimes and regressive policies – have compelled community leaders to plan for their futures under any election scenario. Down-ballot races will also have a significant influence on the opportunities and threats that emerge at all levels of government. \nPlease join Forefront\, Grantmakers Concerned with Immigrants and Refugees (GCIR)\, movement organizations\, and funders for a post-election debrief and discussion about these new realities\, what strategies are already being put into play\, and how philanthropy can align its grantmaking to support those efforts while keeping an eye on the long game of building a multiracial and inclusive democracy. \nSpeakers \n\nAnu Joshi\, National Campaign Director for Immigration\, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)\nJasmine Rivera\, Executive Director\, Pennsylvania Immigration and Citizenship Coalition (PICC)\nLaura Martin\, Executive Director\, Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada (PLAN)\nKica Matos\, President\, National Immigration Law Center (NILC)\n\nModerator \n\nKevin Douglas\, Senior Director of National Programs\, GCIR\n\nEvent time: 11:30am-1:00pm CT / 9:30am to 11:00am PST\n \nREGISTER HERE
