About Community Foundations Gatherings:
Join our informal gatherings of MIE community foundations members at these regular gatherings that spark conversations about investing to drive positive outcomes in communities! MIE member gatherings are interview driven and conversation-style. They provide a virtual space for subsets of the MIE membership to build community, learn together and share strategic and innovative practices. Being on-camera and fully engaged are encouraged. Virtual meetings of the community foundations are not intended to be recorded offerings due to the community-building goals for the calls.
MIE members will need to log in to register. If you are having trouble with logging in, please contact Madeline Kraft at [email protected]. If you are not a member of MIE and would like to attend, please inquire at [email protected]. Our gatherings are not recorded due to the community-building and informal nature of the calls. If there is an additional topic that you would like to cover, please email Obi Asiama at [email protected].
