Community-based organizations (CBOs) play a vital role in advancing social justice and addressing community needs, yet navigating the grant funding landscape remains a significant challenge. This panel discussion brings together experts from the nonprofit and academic sectors to explore funding opportunities at the federal, state, and local levels. Panelists will share strategies for securing grants, building partnerships, and aligning funding with organizational missions. The session is designed for CBO leaders, grant writers, and students interested in leadership, social change, and community-based research.
About the Series:
Recent Executive Orders have profoundly affected social work practice, particularly in areas impacting vulnerable and marginalized communities. Shifts in federal policies and agency structures have further reshaped access to critical services, presenting new challenges for social workers committed to advocacy, equity, and justice. These changes have also raised ethical dilemmas around our profession’s core values and responsibilities, as outlined in the NASW Code of Ethics.
Join us for this lunchtime series, a collection of speakers over one-hour virtual sessions designed to provide food for thought and actionable insights. Each session will feature discussions on critical policy shifts, their implications for social work practice, and actionable strategies to support vulnerable and marginalized communities. This series offers a space for reflection, dialogue, and professional growth in the face of our evolving social and political landscapes.
Open to all students, alumni, and practitioners
