This program will take place online via Zoom. Login information and instructions will be provided to ticket holders by email 24 hours in advance.

Join senior representatives from the Jim Joseph Foundation, Shapira Foundation, and Schusterman Family Foundation as they answer your most pressing questions about grantmaking.

What really happens after I submit my grant proposal? Has COVID-19 changed foundation philanthropy forever? How can my organization continue to raise grant funds in such uncertain times?

Spertus Director of Development Rebecca Garrett will moderate this virtual panel discussion.
