** BUILDING COMMUNITY
------------------------------------------------------------


** Find Your People: PEAK’s new peer groups are underway!
------------------------------------------------------------

At PEAK2021 Online, PEAK launched nine new peer groups—all co-created with our members, led by our members, and designed for our members—each offering a new way to connect, share, and learn. Six Affinity Groups, through shared personal and professional identities, are open to all members. Three Communities of Practice, around a shared commitment to driving and implementing field-wide change, are open to our contributing Organization and Consultant Members.

Thank you to the 23 group volunteer leaders who are planning virtual gatherings for the rest of 2021 to foster these communities, help philanthropy colleagues connect, share, and learn, and drive change through transformative relationships.

** 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.

President and CEO Satonya Fair joined PayPal for a “fireside chat" celebrating the launch of their 2021 Community Impact Grants program. The conversation, led by Rosita Najima, focused on equity in grantmaking. The program encourages employees to select an NGO to receive a grant, empowering them to be part of the decision-making process as well as increase awareness of PayPal's mission, impact, and volunteer opportunities.

Programs and Knowledge Director Melissa Sines presented a session on Uncovering Unconscious Bias in Philanthropy, as part of Iowa Council on Foundations racial equity series.

Our five-month Equitable Evaluation Initiative Making the Case Collaboratory wrapped this month! Look for key learnings to be shared by PEAK and partners GEO, Funders Together to End Homelessness, and Southern California Grantmakers.
