Philanthropy Northwest Annual Conference PNW24

BREAKOUT SESSION: FUNDING NONPROFIT ENDOWMENTS AS AN EQUITY STRATEGY
Funding nonprofit endowments can ensure the stability of an organization as well as advance equity and shift power to frontline organizations. However, little is known about the degree to which foundations engage in funding nonprofit endowments or about attitudes of foundation leaders on this topic. This session will inform discussions in the philanthropic space about endowment grantmaking, including the role endowments can play in promoting equity. The Center for Effective Philanthropy and The Bridgespan Group will share results from two recent studies examining funder perspectives on and practices regarding nonprofit endowments.
