From theater and music to visual arts and literature\, these mediums have the unique ability to transcend cultural and linguistic barriers\, bringing diverse communities together. The arts provide a platform for marginalized voices\, enabling them to tell their stories and advocate for justice. As we explore this topic\, it’s essential to consider how the arts not only reflect societal issues but also actively contribute to shaping a more equitable and inclusive world. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Upcoming Events\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Check out the Council calendar to learn more about upcoming events. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

Chief among them\, “What amount of risk is acceptable to funders who invest in programs and initiatives that are under increased scrutiny?” While critical to answer with clarity\, this question often assumes agreement and alignment on what risk is\, and who carries it. Yes\, legal exposure creates risk to an organization. But what of the risks of inaction\, of muting an effective approach\, of accepting the terms of bad faith actors? Risks to the organization clearly need careful consideration when setting strategies and navigating tradeoffs\, but so too do risks to the organization’s staff\, grantees\, and the communities that it ultimately serves. \nIn this virtual leader roundtable\, we’ll explore the most effective ways to engage relevant stakeholders — including general counsels\, boards of directors\, and others — in an expansion of the term “risk”\, one that reframes risk such that it becomes more inclusive and more useful as a concept. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

But many philanthropic leaders face immediate institutional limitations in implementing fully trust-based philanthropy\, such as metrics and required reporting. One crucial aspect is distinguishing between trust and transparency\, ensuring that funders are clear and explicit with their stakeholders about their limitations and needs for a mutual partnership. \nJoin us as we explore the building blocks of trust-based philanthropy. How can you ensure authenticity while meeting the interests of your stakeholders? What success stories can guide you? And how should you measure the impact of trust-based giving? \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

In this session\, a panel of experts will share more about their unique experiences and the places they have invested in followed by a moderated Q&A session.  Through this event\, we hope to bring more funders into this important work and provide attendees insight into the NationSwell Collaboratives experience \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.
