Program Title: 
     "Community-Centric Fundraising: Turning Theory Into Practice"

The work of fundraising is often rooted in harmful practices, both to our communities of focus and to fundraisers themselves. Implementing DEIA into individual and organizational fundraising practices is one way to mitigate this reality. In this session, Marcus will introduce Community-Centric Fundraising, a philosophy created by BIPOC fundraisers to transform philanthropy and fundraising to center race, equity, and justice. He will give examples of how this is operationalized at Movement Strategy Center, as well as show how you can be "in community" with your supporters and your communities of focus.
