Road to 100%: Leveraging All Foundation Assets in Service of Mission
10:30 a.m. PT / 1:30 p.m. ET
Tuesday, July 9
This Virtual Learning Opportunity (VLO) builds off of the momentum of our National Conference key theme, Utilizing the Entire Endowment, by bringing together several foundations who have committed to deploy 100% of their assets in service of their mission. Increasingly, foundations are moving to deploy all of their assets towards mission, powered by a recognition that every dollar invested has the potential to advance and create amplified social impact and philanthropic efforts.
Join us for a conversation with foundations of various sizes and stages throughout the process of 100% alignment. Speakers will explore the different approaches to get to 100%, examples of culture and policy shifts needed, and solutions they’ve implemented in navigating to commit to and reach 100% alignment.
MIE members, log in to register for this VLO. If you have questions or challenges accessing registration, topic suggestions for future programming, or if you are not an MIE member but would like to attend, please contact Sophia Brown. This VLO will be recorded and available to MIE members following the program.
