PEAK In Community
In this new section of the Monthly, we’ll share the latest news about our sector partnerships and how PEAK is advocating for more equitable grantmaking practices at conferences, convenings, and community conversations.
Over the past month, President and CEO Satonya Fair joined some key groups of PEAK community stakeholders for listening sessions – including chapter leaders, Black members, and our Board alumni.
At United Way Worldwide, Satonya presented on “Equitable Grantmaking Practices” as they seek to operationalize their new Equity Framework throughout their network.
At the Council of Michigan Foundation's annual conference, Satonya and Richerd Winton of The William Davidson Foundation spoke about “Operationalizing Equity,” delving into how grants management professionals are at the forefront of adaptive change and practice for our sector, and how our career journeys have landed us where we are today.
At Independent Sector’s Upswell conference, PEAK Programs and Knowledge Director Melissa Sines co-presented "Democratizing Demographic Data" with Carly Hare at CHANGE Philanthropy, Kelly Brown from Viewpoint Consulting, and Teleange Thomas and C. Davis Parchment from Candid.
Melissa also joined Carly Hare and C. Davis Parchment to present "Demographic Data for Insight, Impact, and Equity" at Environmental Grantmakers Association's annual retreat.
Satonya presented “Reducing Bias in Decision Making” to the Maryland Philanthropy Network, with a focus on our Drive Equity principle and the importance of dismantling inequitable practices in awarding grants.
Satonya helped the Community Foundation of Sarasota County kick off their staff DEI training, focusing on “Implicit Bias and Micro-aggressions.” We were thankful to receive a President's Discretionary contribution following the session.
Melissa joined New York Funders' Alliance annual conference to speak about "Justice, Equity, and Inclusion in Grantmaking Practice."
Satonya addressed the North Carolina Network of Grantmakers community on “Demographic Data for Insight, Impact, and Equity.” Welcome to NCNG, who joined PEAK as a contributing member following that session!
