How can a place-based approach maximize philanthropic impact and drive meaningful, community-led progress?
In this session we will consider the power of place-based funding and the unique opportunities it presents for achieving impact at scale in urban, rural, and Tribal communities. We will examine the commonalities that connect these diverse communities—such as shared challenges related to economic development, access to resources, and social equity—while also highlighting the distinct needs and opportunities within each context. You will learn how place-based philanthropy can create tailored, sustainable solutions that address the root causes of local and systemic issues, fostering long-term change.
