** The Journal is here!
------------------------------------------------------------
In this issue, we celebrate the journeys of the accidental technologists and process pioneers who led critical, formative work to make grantmaking more efficient, more effective, and ultimately, more equitable.

To help tell this story, we asked members of the PEAK community to share their own career experiences and to explore how they are moving within the field to grow their skills, assert their leadership, and rise up as leaders of change to push, pull, and sometimes drag the field forward.

** PEAK in Community
------------------------------------------------------------
The latest news about our sector partnerships and how PEAK is advocating for more equitable grantmaking practices at conferences, convenings, and community conversations.

At FluxxCon2021, PEAK President and CEO Satonya Fair joined Derrick Lewis of the Bronx Community Foundation and Fluxx's Kerrin Mitchell for a keynote conversation exploring how to create a platform of diversity, equity, and inclusion; where the three got to wave their magic wands and dream big for philanthropy. The speakers issued a challenge to the doers in philanthropy to ensure that equity is operationalized and that the technical platforms supporting philanthropy bake equity in from budget design to final grant reporting. (We want it to be awkward for a funder to ask to "remove" those equity fields!)

Satonya also joined an American Bar Association Council for Diversity in the Education Pipeline panel focused on innovations for funding in pipeline programs. She presented a landscape analysis of funders so that nonprofits can best identify funders for their programs and ensure that funders can find them in GuideStar and other reference databases used to vet qualifying nonprofits. It was a wonderful primer for many early-stage nonprofits.

PEAK Member Relationship Manager Clare Larson and Satonya teamed up as special guests at the Knight Foundation's “office hours,” which introduces their core grantmaking and program teams to philanthropy-sector organizations like PEAK. It was a wonderful way to exchange information and build relationships with the Knight team. We would similarly welcome the opportunity to support any member organizations looking to deepen their team's engagement with PEAK's network of people, resources, and events.

PEAK Programs and Knowledge Director Melissa Sines joined the Community Investment group at the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship to share with its members how to implement values-aligned, equity-centered grantmaking practices.

Melissa also spoke with representatives of the Gulf Research Program Division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, responsible for distributing funds from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill settlement. She shared the stage with academics and experts from across the environmental and government sectors to help program managers determine how to consider equity as a key part of their work in supporting communities most impacted by the disaster.

In addition, Melissa served as a conference committee member for the 2021 GEO Learning Conference and facilitated a peer-to-peer session on smarter grant reporting and learning for impact.
