Joint Affinity Groups Unity Summit
February 5-7, 2007
Los Angeles, CA
What is the Unity Summit?
The JAG Unity Summit is an intensive two-day, action-oriented, forum for grantmakers designed to push us beyond the boundaries of our personal and institutional issues and identity silos, funding criteria and guidelines. You and your colleagues have a unique opportunity to creatively explore the philanthropic paradigms that shape our work and, at the same time, both promote and limit our effectiveness to impact sustained social change.
Our Goal
Building on the theme, “Effectiveness through Access and Equity,” the Summit goal is to engage participants in strategic thinking that challenges the way grantmakers do their work, fosters new partnerships and collaborations, identifies best practices and produces a more coordinated and effective agenda for change.
Registration is limited, so register now; early-bird registration ends October 31st.
