Connect Summit: How — and Why — to Center Black Women

<p>The Black Feminist Fund (BFF) is the first global fund formed to direct grant money, support, and other resources to organizations that put Black women at the center of philanthropy, movement-building, policymaking, civil rights, and justice. The BFF officially launched this past March with a $15 million seed investment from the Ford Foundation, but draws on decades of capacity-building work by a network of experienced Black feminist experts, organizers, investors, and donors. In this session Black Feminist Fund Co-founder Tynesha McHarris and Pivotal Ventures Senior Adviser Ada Williams Prince explore how women of color around the world are disproportionately excluded from power and yet poised to transform communities, and how Black women who write the checks aim to scale equity movements around the world. Learn how to co-create spaces, products, services, and workplaces that successfully center the issues and contributions of Black women.</p> <p style="padding-top: 20px;">Speakers:<br /><strong>Tynesha McHarris</strong>, Co-founder, Black Feminist Fund <br /><strong>Ada Williams Prince</strong>, Senior Adviser, Program Strategy and Investments, Pivotal Ventures<br /> Moderated by <strong>Sheryl Estrada</strong>, Writer, CFO Daily; Co-chair, Fortune CFO Collaborative</p>
