Join Melissa Sines, the Programs and Knowledge Director at PEAK Grantmaking as she shares their work with grantmakers to implement more equitable grantmaking practices. She'll talk about some of the key trends in philanthropy as it relates to racial equity, diversity, inclusion, and power and the ways that you can "speak their language" as you seek to reduce barriers to working in partnership with institutional philanthropy. Melissa is a resident of Frederick County, Maryland and comes to this local work as a volunteer, bringing her national expertise home to benefit her own community.
