In Greater Boston, access isn’t evenly distributed. Behind many funding decisions are systems and networks that determine who gets visibility and who gets overlooked entirely.
Dive into this issue in Session 2 of “From Insight to Impact," a five-part community learning and action webinar series grounded in building a shared understanding of how charitable giving shapes equity in our region.
Friday, May 22
12:00–12:45 PM

Our research report, “Carrying the Weight, Leading the Change,” reveals how grassroots organizations led by women and gender-expansive people of color are working to meet urgent community needs while navigating systems that were never built with them in mind.
In Session 2, “Missing & Opaque Systems: Who is Locked Out?”, we’ll look at how funding remains concentrated among a small number of organizations, while groups serving immigrant, multilingual, trans, and gender-expansive communities continue to face major barriers to support.
Grassroots leader Asha Abdullahi, Founder and Executive Director of Somali Parents Advocacy Center for Education (SPACE), will join the conversation to share what it means to build community-rooted work outside traditional philanthropic networks.
