Join us for a virtual gathering to discuss technology and software, share what you’re seeing in your own work and crowdsource ideas from your fellow peers across the state. This will be an open space for discussion so please bring your questions, concerns and highlights from your own work to share with the group. As we continue our collective equity journey, we invite you to bring forward equity-related topics to our roundtables throughout the year. This conversation is open to all CMF members whether your work touches technology, you have a dedicated technology role or you just want to pick up a few tips from our technology experts.

Learn how equity comes into play in many areas of your organization, including benefits, conflict resolution, facilities, internal power dynamics and more. You’ll take away 45 practical suggestions to make your organization’s policies more equitable and enhance your ability to partner inside and outside your organization effectively. This session focuses on employee handbooks – a foundational document that establishes the working agreement between employees and the organization and is essential to creating equity and operationalizing your vision.

Join us for a deep dive into two resources for youth philanthropists and advocates. First, we will walk through the YAC Advisor Guidebook, which explores multiple topics related to youth advisory councils' (YACs) development and best practices, including grantmaking, recruitment, community partnerships, and more. Together we will explore how to use the guidebook while providing time for feedback to ensure it is an effective and helpful tool for advisors. We will also highlight the Youth Voters Guide, which serves as a resource for youth who wish to become civically involved and more informed on the needs of their community. This guide is meant to empower youth to take civic action not only through voting but through becoming informed and sharing their knowledge with those around them.

As new employees and trustees join foundation leadership, questions arise about the rules and best practices impacting their staff and board members. These questions impact all foundations, including family, independent, corporate and community foundations. CMF Experts in Residence Brittany Kienker, Ph.D., and Jennifer Oertel lead this interactive session to address frequent questions about self dealing, conflicts of interest and other policies that foundations can use to remain compliant and avoid situations that could risk the organization’s reputation in the community. 

Save the date to join your corporate philanthropy peers for an interactive in-person retreat to discuss the issues that are most important to your work. This event will provide an opportunity for participants to share challenges and best practices, discuss emerging practices, network and learn together.
