Strengthening and Protecting Democracy: Why Foundations Must Engage
Maine Democracy Collaborative
Room: York Room
A panel of both funders and grantees will discuss how foundations and philanthropic individuals can use their resources to help protect and expand American democracy. Indeed, there is an urgent need for funders to recognize the important role they must play in expanding civic engagement and access to our democratic institutions. Whatever a funder's priorities are, protecting and expanding democracy must be on the list. Without democracy, all that we care about will suffer.
