Funders Together is organizing multiple ways for our members to connect and share information about local responses to the impact of COVID-19 on people experiencing homelessness. In addition to regular webinars with field updates, we are organizing recurring, informal funder calls for funders to share what they’re seeing and doing and to seek support from other members.
These funder calls are active, discussion-based calls that we hope will be led and lightly facilitated by our members. Join these member calls if you want to share what is happening in your community related to supporting people experiencing homelessness during the COVID-19 pandemic and hear what other funders are doing in their communities.
In the midst of the COVID-19 public health crisis, we are faced with another crisis: the anti-Black racism in our country. While this racism is not new, the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade, and David McAtee demand time and space to process as well as urgent collective action for change.
During our call on June 3, we will hold space for funders to talk about what they are grappling with and how the past week's events connect to the work to support people experiencing homelessness. While all of our COVID-19 funder calls are discussion-based, this call is going to be an open and vulnerable space for all. Funders Together staff will be curating the participants in breakout rooms to create a space for funders to be honest.

Interested in hearing more general field updates?
If you are interested in hearing about what is happening in the field nationally and want more high-level information about how funders are responding in communities, we will hold period webinars with national leaders and more general updates about what we are hearing. We anticipate holding these webinars every few weeks or whenever there are substantive updates for the field.
Please note: Participation in our programming is limited to private funders, including foundations, United Ways, corporate giving programs, individual philanthropists, and philanthropy serving organizations (PSOs). You do not have to be a member of Funders Together to participate in this call. If you have questions about your eligibility to register, please contact Stephanie Chan, Director of Membership and Programs at Funders Together to End Homelessness.
