Bridging The Gap: A 3 Part Lecture Series
BRIDGING THE GAP: A 3 Part Lecture Series
Rooted in conversations from the 2025 Blacks In Philanthropy Conference, this series reflects what community members said matters most. Through presentations and guided dialogue, participants are invited to explore bias, power, accountability, and access within philanthropic spaces.
Hear directly from SFFNJ President & CEO, Katherine N. Nunnally, MPA for a call to action, and engage in dialogue that moves ideas into impact.
This is an invitation to listen, reflect, and lead with intention—together.
