About the Event
Increased foundation efforts to advance disaster philanthropy, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and innovative approaches to assist individuals in local communities have led to a wave of interest in reexamining existing scholarship programs. Brittany Kienker, Ph.D., and Jennifer Oertel will lead this interactive session to address frequently asked questions about scholarships and grants to individuals. Join peers throughout the Midwest region to review the legal requirements for scholarships and learn about emerging scholarship issues in the field.
This webinar series is presented in collaboration with Indiana Philanthropy Alliance, Philanthropy Ohio, and Council of Michigan Foundations. Together, these regional associations hope to harness and share the collective expertise of each state’s leading philanthropic organizations and trusted community partners.
