  • Program 1 [2020]

    CONFERENCES - GEO CONFERENCES EDUCATE AND INSPIRE ACTION. IN 2020, WE PLANNED A NATIONAL CONFERENCE TO CONVENE 1,000 GRANTMAKERS IN BOSTON TO CREATE SPACE FOR MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY TO EXCHANGE IDEAS, SUPPORT EACH OTHER THROUGH ADVANCING RACIAL-EQUITY CENTERED CHANGE IN THEIR ORGANIZATIONS, AND ADVANCE THE ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PHILANTHROPIC PRACTICES THAT LEAD TO THRIVING COMMUNITIES. THE CONFERENCE HAD TO BE CANCELED IN THE WEEKS BEFORE IT WAS TO TAKE PLACE DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, WE WERE ABLE SHIFT PORTIONS OF THE CONFERENCE'S CONTENT ONLINE, OFFERING TOOLS TO SUPPORT GRANTMAKERS WITH A DESIRE TO ADVANCE CHANGE IN THEIR ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES.

  • Program 2 [2020]

    MEMBER PROGRAMS - GEO IS A DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF MORE THAN 600 GRANTMAKING ORGANIZATIONS REPRESENTING MORE THAN 6,000 GRANTMAKERS WORKING TO RESHAPE THE WAY PHILANTHROPY OPERATES. GRANTMAKERS ADDRESSED SHARED CHALLENGES IN GRANTMAKING THROUGH GEO'S PEER LEARNING PROGRAMS INCLUDING WEBINARS, MEMBER CALLS AND REMOTE LEARNING SERIES. OTHER MEMBER PROGRAMS, SUCH AS OUR FELLOWSHIP COHORTS AND CEO/SENIOR LEADER PROGRAMMING FOUND NEW WAYS FOR MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBER GRANTMAKERS TO COME TOGETHER TO ADDRESS THE BARRIERS TO ADOPTING GRANTMAKING PRACTICES THAT SUPPORT GRANTEE SUCCESS. THESE OPPORTUNITIES ALLOW MEMBERS TO TALK ABOUT THE CHALLENGES THEY ARE FACING, AND WORK THROUGH COMPLEX CHANGES WITHIN THEIR ORGANIZATION AND ADVOCATE FOR THOSE PRACTICES ACROSS THE FIELD.
