Meeting the Moment Part One: Philanthropic Vehicles to Fund Democracy

What are the models and vehicles available for investing in and strengthening democracy? How are family philanthropies using them successfully?

This webinar will equip participants with an understanding of the types of vehicles and strategies that can be used to fund this work. You will hear from family foundations with direct experience in this area, including the Aviv Foundation which uses a variety of strategies in its democracy funding, and the Storer Foundation which operates in and provides democracy funding in rural Wyoming. Estevan Muñoz-Howard from Ktisis Capital, who has experience working with multiple donor clients supporting democracy will be moderating the discussion.

This session is designed for those interested in spurring new, increased, and sustained giving for strengthening democracy beyond election cycles.
