Institute for Integrated Transitions - IFIT’s Post

Many leading funders recognize that polarization is adversely affecting their work. But what role can philanthropy best play to reduce the dangers of polarization? Join us on Thursday, September 3rd at 12 p.m. ET for a free webinar on the range of ways that foundations and donors are responding to polarization and the early lessons that are emerging about what works and what is missing. Drawing on lessons from the U.S. and around the world, our distinguished panel will examine different facets of the problem and explore approaches that help improve and increase connection and civility across divides. Hear from our panel during a 45-minute discussion, followed by 15 minutes dedicated to audience Q&A. Moderator: 🗣️ Mark Freeman, Executive Director of the Institute for Integrated Transitions Panelists: 🗣️ Dame Louise Richardson, President, Andrew Carnegie Foundation 🗣️ Binaifer Nowrojee, President, Open Society Foundations 🗣️ Amber D.
