The session will be an opportunity to explore an active case study in how equity driven capacity building is made possible in today’s environment. This session is for consultants, grant makers and non-profit leaders who want to learn lessons in creating partnerships to achieve this endeavor. 

Participants will walk away with how these types of initiatives can impact grantee partners’ work towards their respective missions, and how strong and trusting relationships among the funder, consultant and grantee partner facilitate these efforts. 

You will get to hear directly from the John Rex Endowment team alongside their partnering consulting team from Emerging Equity and two of their grantee partners: NC Counts and Raleigh Little Theater.
