What to Know: The Fearless Fund Decision
   

10:30 a.m. PT / 1:30 p.m. ET
Tuesday, Sept. 17

On June 3, 2024, the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals issued a preliminary injunction against the Fearless Fund in the ongoing case of American Alliance for Equal Rights v. Fearless Fund. This injunction currently prohibits the Fearless Fund from distributing grants solely targeted for Black women small business owners as the case proceeds through the Georgia federal courts.
 
In this session, legal experts will give an in-depth overview of the court’s decision, discuss potential implications for impact investing, and offer best practices for navigating your institution's work in this evolving legal landscape. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and gain additional insights.
