By developing innovative strategies that go beyond traditional tools like loans and grants\, we can address the full spectrum of small business needs. These approaches not only uplift existing businesses but also nurture new ventures\, ensuring sustained\, community-centered growth and prosperity for businesses of all kinds. \nJoin us in discovering innovative cross-sector approaches  to empower small businesses\, create opportunities for all entrepreneurs\, and build resilient\, community-driven economies. \n\n  \nOur world is marked by constant social\, political\, economic\, and environmental shifts\, and it is up to us to come together to envision better possibilities for our communities.

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.

The biography not only follows King’s journey from the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham\, Selma\, and Memphis but also delves into his private struggles\, familial relationships\, and the intense government repression he endured. King’s commitment to fighting for racial and economic justice\, even at the cost of his life\, emerges as a deeply humanizing story of personal and social transformation. \nJoin us on November 19th in New York City for a conversation among Jonathan Eig\, Dr. Carmen Rojas\, and Dr. Darrick Hamilton on the intricate dynamics of King’s leadership and legacy in today’s political context. Together\, we will reflect on how King’s critique of racism\, economic exploitation\, and militarism continues to inform contemporary movements for freedom and explore how King’s understanding of justice can inspire a better vision for how we build economic and social policy today. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n AGENDA\n \n \n \n \n \n 6:00 pmDoors Open and Light Refreshments \n7:00 pmPanel Begins \n8:15 pmPanel Concludes \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 Location\n \n \n \n \n \n The Altman Building135 W 18th StreetNew York\, NY 10011 \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 \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 \n \n Learn more about MCF Book Club\n \n \n \n \n \n Once a month the MCF Book Club shares the ideas of leaders who encourage us to imagine how we can radically transform our democracy\, economy\, and society.
