Breakout Sessions Session A: Giving Circles: Innovative Partnerships in Community Philanthropy Giving Circles are showing great promise as a community investment strategy to complement the work of traditional philanthropy. At the conclusion of AAPIP’s 5-year National Giving Circle Campaign, partners in this movement reflect on what they are learning and the future potential for this form of community philanthropy.
Session B: Islamophobia: How to Mobilize Resources & Action in a Climate of Hate & Division Fifteen years after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, in a politically-charged and hostile climate, the violence and hatred experienced by the Arab, Middle Eastern, Muslim and South Asian (AMEMSA) communities in the U.S. has worsened as a result of increased violence domestically and abroad in addition to hateful political rhetoric. A distinguished panel of philanthropic leaders discuss how the current political climate and rhetoric are leading to a resurgence of Islamophobia, and what philanthropy can do about it.
Session C: Working at New Intersections for Social Justice and Community Change What are the most promising strategies being used by foundations to address AAPI social justice issues and community needs? Experienced national and regional grantmakers will discuss how funding innovation, coalitions and cross-program work are promising strategies to advance social justice and community change, and reveal what’s working and what they’re learning.
