Statewide Listening Tour
Last summer we launched Black Well-being: Moving Toward Solutions Together, a report designed to elevate the brilliance of Black Washingtonians and bring forward the community-identified approaches that result in a world we want to see. A year later, the report continues to be a tool for Black-led and Black-serving organizations to galvanize support for their work.
While the report was developed through statewide input, we know there is always more to learn. As we work to shift the philanthropic paradigm, we want to know what you’re working on and where you need support.
To continue this learning journey, we are hosting a series of listening sessions across the state to hear directly from community.
Which approaches resonate with you? What are you already working on?
What resources or tools would accelerate your impact?
How do you want to be in relationship with us?
What we learn will both shape our own funding practices and be shared with our colleagues in the sector to inform grantmaking statewide. Beyond learning, we also want to hold space for joy, fellowship, connection, and collaboration.
We are inviting Black-led organizations from across Washington to join us for a series of listening sessions to share needs specific to their region and work.
