Co-Sponsors: Tax Equity Funders Network & Fund for Housing and Opportunity

Tuesday, June 10, 2025 | 1:00pm ET, 12:00pm CT, 11:00am MT, 10:00am PT

Funders Together to End Homelessness, the Tax Equity Funders Network, and the Fund for Housing and Opportunity invite you to a webinar exploring how the tax code can advance racial equity, improve housing outcomes, and transform lives.

The tax code is a powerful tool for economic security and wealth-building, but its benefits are often distributed inequitably, leaving Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other communities of color behind. This session will highlight how strategic changes to the tax code can promote equity in housing, early childhood, health, and education—particularly for communities historically excluded from wealth-building opportunities.

With Congress debating tax changes and funding cuts that may worsen disparities, this session will help funders understand how to protect communities, support equitable policies, and drive impact.

Learning Objectives 

• Understand the Intersection of Tax Policy and Racial Equity: Recognize how inequities in the tax code impact marginalized communities and explore solutions for advancing racial equity and housing justice.

• Explore Philanthropy's Role: Discover how funders can leverage tax policy for systemic change, from advocacy to strategic partnerships.

• Identify Actionable Strategies: Leave with practical tools for supporting housing security, building wealth for marginalized families, and advancing racial justice.

Speakers

• Ami Nagle | Director, Tax Equity Funders Network  
• Deneisha Thompson | Senior Associate, Tax Equity Funders Network
